Perhaps it amuses you to pretend to be anything. I am disappointed that a former staff member is so willing to take a massive dump on the existing staff members.

I don't know why you think this. I think highly of the entire staff team.

What do you mean "pretend to be anything"? I'm not pretending to be anything or anyone. I wouldn't say I am especially amused right now either.

do they? You will be providing evidence for this claim shortly, I am sure.

Nah it's just an opinion. Hope I didn't hurt your feelings. I was being flippant. You're not necessarily a moron just because you said something that I personally consider vapid to a moronic degree.

Everytime I hear, spell or think about them it literally makes me sick to my stomach, luckily never to the point of throwing up.
Words from Non-abrahamic religions disgust me less, but I still dislike many of them. 
This will make the moment when I'll come out as atheist to my family hard, because I'll have to hear and spell these words. My family members will try to convince me to return to the faith, so they'll use these words and I'll have to explain them why I don't want to return, so I'll have to use these words.
Could I use the fact that I'm disgusted by religious words as an argument when I'll come out of the closet?
Does anyone feel the same regarding religious words?

The language and sentiments on this forum are about as low as humanity can get.
Religious words are quite tolerable by comparison.
Yes, words in religion are often icons of offensive doctrines.
Nevertheless, everyone is responsible for accepting what is true and recognizing what is not, and making a distinction between good and evil.
Confusion and ignorance are no excuse for finding out the truth.

Words are just words. Their meaning changes over time. C*** was once a polite term. Why do lunatics think that language is somehow set in stone? Forever?

I agree with that. It's just that I heard so many religious words used to convey bad messages that I'm sick of them.

I guess I dislike talking about church, but it's not nearly that bad for me...
