i am... i made a reply video to a guy and he went nuts about me in a video now i keep having to reply back because of the stuff he says about me.
The only time I've ever had a "fight" with someone over religion was online with a woman I didn't know who friended me on facebook because (I guess) she liked the crafty things I was posting. Then I kept getting spammed with all of her "I love Jaysus!" and "God is Great!" posts. The final straw was when she started in on the "Keep the Christ in Christmas!" bullshit, so I started commenting on her posts about how Christmas and the iconic things we think of when we think of Christmas have their roots in pagan celebrations, and I started spamming her back with images like "Keep the Yule in Yuletide!"
She lost her shit and we went a couple rounds back and forth before she unfriended me.
No loss to my life.
IRL, tho, very few people know I'm an atheist because it never comes up. I don't go around proclaiming what I don't believe in, hence I don't really suffer harassment.
Teenaged X-Files obsession + Bermuda Triangle episode + Self-led school research project = Atheist.
