Firstly to the accent, then to the revelation that I don't believe in god. I could just imagine their bodily functions shut down as their minimal brain power shifts all its focus to comprehending something as simple as 2+2.
In Oklahoma we have a branch of the ssa on our campus that I'm a part of. In a college town it is shocking the different reactions we get at our events. Sometimes we get people swear at us (as they pass, they won't actually come over and engage), and some people just scowl and walk wide. But the most common reaction is support from agnostics, moderate Christians, and closeted atheists who are happy to see us out and in public.
