Fortunately, my girlfriend, and the pastor knows I'm an atheist, but that's it. Nobody else at church knows.
Does anybody else feel sorry for religious people?
First thing, this to everyone who posted, don't feel sorry for Christians, feel sorry for those who believe they are and in reality they are not. Christians do not want others pity because we know the great life we have and the greater eternal life that awaits.
Now Ian, why do you believe we are wasting our time, our money, our lives and oppressing ourselves. What proof do you have and where did you get it. Why would you have a girl friend that's a Christian, when you feel like she belongs to the fools club, sounds rather stupid to me.

God loves those who believe and those who do not and the same goes for me, you have no choice in this matter. That puts the matter of total free will to rest.
