Should the term Atheist be scrapped?
#11
RE: Should the term Atheist be scrapped?
I understand where you are coming from, but for myself, I don't rightly care. I've been called a lot worse. "Ungodly", that has to be my favorite dumb thing to call me. I know where they're going with that, but truly, it is rather meaningless. I've been called "heathen" (mostly by my mom), who expected me to be insulted by it. It did not work. That's such an old-fashioned word, don't you think. I'll stick with atheist, if for no other reason,than as has been said, because it ticks them off. Snacks
“To terrify children with the image of hell, to consider women an inferior creation—is that good for the world?”
