Welcome, Ghost. I live in Phoenix too. I've never had any significant problems in my 55 years around the US and Guam and I've been out since I was 12 years old. Maybe attitude has something to do with it. You know how an animal can sense fear? Maybe Christians can sense when an atheist is hesitant to come out. I have never been the least bit shy about it and have gone straight for the jugular the few times anyone as taken me to task for my atheism.

I'm sorry about your acquaintance but that's what she is. She's no friend. It's her loss.
Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former.
