I did a few weeks back. Some women stopped by my workplace one day selling handmade religious items made by the women in some Christian drug rehab place. I just told them no thanks, I'm not religious and not interested. After they left I threw the pamphlet they gave me in the trash.

That's one of the things that fucking sucks about at least some areas of America.

If someone asks me I tell them.
I have a few friends who belong to a religion, and one day the leader of their cult said that I was capable of having sex in the streets like an animal because I dont believe in God lol.
I was surprised when he said that because I thought nobody actually said that as an argument.

I think anybody is capable of having sex in the streets like an animal whether they believe in God or not. That is, as long as they don't suffer from ED.

But seriously folks, religion (or lack thereof) doesn't matter very much here. I'm sure I've told this story before, but not long after we got settled in, the neighbours - with whom we'd already struck up a casual acquaintance - invited us to Sunday services at their Methodist church. My missus said something like, 'Very nice of you to offer, but we're atheists.' After a brief pause, the husband said, 'Oh. Do atheists go to the cinema? We could do that if you like.'
That was it. No questioning, no recriminations, no threats of hellfire. They're simply very nice people offering a social engagement. We remained good friends until they moved away.

The whole point of not believing in God is that I can have sex in my bedroom without feeling watched. Why would I go out into the street to lose that advantage again?

If anybody watches me have sex it's their own fault for being disgusted and/or nauseated.

The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.

Because he's probably getting his rocks off on imagining things like that. Always be careful when they feel like talking about sex. They usually reveal their own secrets. Be it in condemning the gay community because they secretely crave to be part of it, be it in painting out in loving detail some form of deviant sexual behavior. That guy probably dreams for his whole life to have sex in the streets.
