Indeed, i agree it is funny.
People think that Christianity is loving and caring for others, its far from that. Its probably one of the most discriminating and hating religions out there.
I personally do not hide the fact that I am an Atheist, there is no reason i should have to hide who I am, and what i believe just because it is not the social "norm" of our society.
In my experience, I had taken this girl to the mall to get to know each other a little better. She was from a small town in Illinois and I'm from a bigger city in Colorado. Anyhow, we started talking and got on the topic of religion, she started saying "oh, well its in the bible, it must be right." crap. all i simply said to her was, "Well, I don't believe in the bible, it doesn't make me a bad person, I just don't believe in it." To make a long story short, she wouldn't believe me. She thought that Atheists were just a "myth" and that everyone believed in god. Well I told her she was wrong and that there are good people out there that just don't have the same views as everyone else. Right then and there, she threw a empty water bottle at my face in the middle of the mall food court and demanded that i drove her back to her hotel.
Why does religion spark such hatred? I know for a fact that I am a moral person with good intentions, but the second i stand up for my "unmoral" belief I get scolded. I just think that its funny how immigrants 200 years ago came to United States for religious freedom, when it was really just to start another form of religious tyranny. I couldn't become president of the United States if I was the most intelligent candidate running, just because I'm an atheist. You gotta love it.
