yeah... Matt says that... ("Around 4:20 of his lecture he says somewhere along the lines of, "some people say that you want to be an atheist just so you can sin... screw that, its ok if you don't want to believe just to sin"")... and then explains what he means by that:
"Religions tell people to divorce themselves from who they are - who you are as human beings. 'You can't be gay'. Screw you, if I'm gay, I'm gay. If you wanna call it sinning and you don't think that's a good enough reasoning for me to stop believing in your god who you think made me [can't understand a bit here] this way and there's nothing I can do about it, or you wanna call it a choice or whatever, it doesn't matter. Hopefully, we come to better arguments and better reasons to justify our positions better later on.... " yadda yadda yadda
