Yeah, sometimes a joke doesn't translate well in a post unless you know the person. I have no doubt that many families would shun a child who professes to be an atheist. And it actually wasn't that long ago that being an atheist could get you killed by the authorities! Quite sickening that people who claim to be for "tolerence" can be the most intolerent!
Science flies us to the moon and stars. Religion flies us into buildings.

God allowed 200,000 people to die in an earthquake. So what makes you think he cares about YOUR problems?
