My boss pointed this out and I responded "That's ok I am not superstitious anyway". He joked knowing I was an atheist and said "That's ok Jesus wasn't superstitious either" .
But I responded seriously, "If all it took was faith to make something true then the sun would really be a god".
The subtext was of good cheer and having fun.
You instead appeared to take it as an affront and tackled it seriously.
In this case, you didn't reciprocate.
You merely preached.
That's what I find irritating.
You've always been the angry atheist on these forums, persistently. The tone is hectoring.
I find it hard to believe you'd ever be fun to work around, because anything superstitious, regardless of being in humor, is something for you to preach against.
"The subtext" thanks for the update, and no that was not lost on me.
No I am not angry all the time. I do get angry at absurd claims, yes, but why should you not be if someone claims the moon is made of cheese and you know it is not? And with this particular comment I wasn't even angry more like treating it as a "did you think about this" moment.
But actually you are dead wrong, my co workers love working with me. They think I can be a pain in the ass, mostly over being anal during inspection period. But since you do not work there you don't see the amount of jokes they dish out at me. If I hated them that much and hated all religious people that much I would have to live on an Island.
And again, this particular comment to my boss just gave me a pondering look. You are the one overreacting. Again, he took that less seriously than you are right now.
