There's one dude at work that will occasionally say something about Jesus or religion. But he's always looking for something to argue about with everyone he talks to. He just finds out what you like or think then tells you how much it sucks. So I don't pay attention to it.

you ever been harassed for being an atheist?
|
I get the occasional moron who says "So you're a devil worshipper..." or something to that effect. But I am a pretty assertive person, and anyone who is going to try and attack me is probably biting off more than they can chew.
Unless they have a weapon. Then I am a Babble thumpin' Jesus luvin' Christ-tee-ann!
"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

I caught hell when I was 23 for being with an 18 year old, but now I'm 31 and we've been happily married for 7 years. It is nobody else's business except you and her. In highschool I had people saying they would pray for me, but I'm fairly anti-social and don't deal with many people so it has never been much of an issue. 
when people say "I WILL PRAY FOR YOU" i say "Don't waste your time"

Yes, once I had a black guy shout at me outside a laundromat "WHY DON'T YOU BELIEVE" repeatedly upon seeing my atheist bumper sticker. Had another guy try to have me fired because he was driving behind me and his son saw my bumper sticker. I was delivering pizzas at the time. Others have had it worse. Knew a guy who got kicked out of his apartment because his landlord found out., Atheists in the Arab world, especially x Muslims like Ayaan Hersi Ali have received death threats. To this day she still needs a body guard. .  (July 13, 2014 at 7:02 pm)atheist04330 Wrote: when people say "I WILL PRAY FOR YOU" i say "Don't waste your time" Next time, try: 'Fine. You pray for me, and I'll think for both of us.' Drives 'em spare, that one. Boru

The more fanatical ones loathe that. Playing Cluedo with my mum while I was at Uni: "You did WHAT? With WHO? WHERE???" 
The great thing about not wearing a label... It makes it very difficult for others to be prejudiced toward you.

I don't think engaging in some troll war online counts as being harassed. Also the answer for me is no.

You can diggle little commies because you're a godless atheist fool... you're like a pedo" What if that age gap is 40 and 18 or 60 and 18? I don't think that 23 and 18 is a big deal, but I question why a 30 year old would even want to be with an 18 year old. I don't make what I would call a moral judgement on it, but I think that chances are the 30 year old is emotionally immature. ![[Image: dcep7c.jpg]](https://images.weserv.nl/?url=i46.tinypic.com%2Fdcep7c.jpg)
