RE: you ever been harassed for being an atheist?
I live in Britain so in everyday life I don't encounter christians that often, however I did get it in the neck when I got outed as an atheist at my former workplace (Mental Health Centre) by some of the service users.
Of course being an atheist is less visible than being transgender or transvestite, (Including one man who was just wearing a kilt) I saw at least half a dozen of them get hounded out of the Centre.
The people doing the discrimination were all either Jesus Army or Baptists.
Oddly because doing my job I had to get to know the service users I knew that non-believers outnumbered the vocal christians at least 3 to 1 but you would get the opposite impression from just listening to the service users talking amongst themselves.
Quote:I don't understand why you'd come to a discussion forum, and then proceed to reap from visibility any voice that disagrees with you. If you're going to do that, why not just sit in front of a mirror and pat yourself on the back continuously?
