I do feel this place is hostile. It makes me mentally tense up whenever I sign on even though I agree with the atheists on here. Which is really no different than my reaction to being around christians, because i can equally not relax around them (abeit for different reasons, which have to do with them not accepting who I am.) I wish I had the freedom to feel here that I could be whomever I wanted, and that you guys would like me just the same.
Alas, i do not get that feeling, so I am tense whenever I come here. Thinking that I have to absolutely adhere to "There-Is-No-God" or suffer rejection and being mocked and thought of as stupid.
i've never thought there was a good reason to be rude or mean to theists. My best friend is an atheist and he mocks and laughs at theists, but it offends me to see him do that. I tense up and go silent when he does that. Some of the nicest people i've ever met were christians, in fact one of them right now is learning sign language just to be able to talk to me. (I'm Deaf and mute)
:/
I wish people would just be nice to one another.
