Angry Atheist is Angry [at Facebook theists]

[thesummerqueen]

Delete what you don't want, or start revealing yourself. Its your page. I tell people "It's a monarchy, not a democracy". And I hide the fundies who insist on being friends with me. If they don't like the blasphemous, heretical or downright lewd things I post...fuck 'em. It means they have no sense of humor.

Also, I'm not friends with anyone in my family except my sister, my brother, and my three cousins, one of whom is in the Navy and pays fuck all attention to FB, the other two being rather agnostic girls. I suggest you either take your "elders" and god-loving family out, or you put them in their own little group and make it so by default they can't see your posts unless it's innocuous and you don't mind. (My mother says I give her enough gray hair without her seeing my "other" conversations.)

Also, as far as "attention" towards posts goes...

My buddy Spall is a self-admitted attention whore, and an atheist jokester. He posts things all the time that are bloody hilarious, and trolls my page specifically to make wise-ass comments. And then complains in private when very few people "like" them or he gets no attention. And then people would PM us saying "Oh, you're so funny, blah blah." We got to thinking, and the hypothesis right now is that people will "like" anything that society deems as "good" just to put up a nice front, and will secretly agree with or laugh at anything we're apt to put up but they're too pussy to show they agree for fear they'll have to get into a debate about it.

Me, after a year in this place...I wish some of the under-prepared people on my lists would try something. They never do though. I had one Calvinist who used to go head to head with both of us, but unfriended him because of his girlfriend (another long and nasty example of Christian whoredom). Le sigh.
