Yes I get it, you don't need to repeat it over and over:- tolerance = the mark of an adult.
There are lots of intolerant people, that is the problem. If it weren't a problem, then nobody would be bothered about telling people they are atheist and worried about the reaction. Would they?
Nobody would be bothered about "coming out" as atheist. I mean "coming out" FFS, what is all that about?
"Hey Dad, there's something I need to tell you, maybe you'd better sit down..."
"What is it son? Please god tell me that you're just gay, and not an ATHEIST"
You are currently experiencing a lucky and very brief window of awareness, sandwiched in between two periods of timeless and utter nothingness. So why not make the most of it, and stop wasting your life away trying to convince other people that there is something else? The reality is obvious.
