Too young to be an atheist...

Yeah, you look like you're 12! Tongue

But the point stands. It really is about them projecting their fears onto you. They figure you've thrown your life away, and you're too young to have done that!

I'm assuming you're in high school. Can anyone think of anything else that it would be okay to solicit to a high schooler door to door? You think it would be okay if I went to your door and talked to your kid about atheism?
"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great
