You can say whatever you want. It may just be that your denomination or cult told you to think that way. No reason to assume your opinion is better than any of the other atheists or "nones." But hey, be mad and call names because I believe National Geographic and not you. Must be a conspiracy huh? I listened to a science magazine and now I'm the "bad guy." Here's where you get a BIG "NOPE."
Still trying to understand why I would need to pay a membership fee to go to one of your churches, plus they collect offerings during their meetings. So I have to pay $45-600 for a yearly membership or $1000 for a lifetime membership? What's that all about? Why can't I just go to your church because I want to? There are even churches that won't let the "agnostics" in because they're not atheist enough. *rolls eyes*
