My lovely night out

Quote from: "fester30"I thought every gathering of two or more atheists started with a prayer to Satan and was followed by a pile of drunk, drugged, and intertwined human bodies on top of a pentagram in front of an altar with an upside-down cross and blood from a live animal sacrifice in a cup to pass around and drink.

Wait, you mean we don't? I left the church and renounced God for nothing?? :hissyfit:

I know... off topic but... I just have to say I LOVE the Gervais quote, Ellie. I hadn't heard that before and when I read it in your sig I was sort of sitting on the edge of my bed. Since I wasn't expecting it the surprise enthusiastic laughter was interrupted by my experience of gravity that resulted in a painful experience between my butt and the cold, hard floor. Now I'm sort of saying ouch and laughing all at the same time.

Laughter always ends in pain, doesn't it?

With Christians like that, is there really any wonder that atheism is growing?

This reminds me of the time I was eating at my step-grandmother's house and my step-cousins said something about going to church. I told them I didn't believe in god and they ran and told their mother.. Evidently, it's a horrible thing to be. Atheists must be such monstrosities.

I always respond to incidents like that by reminding them of the disproportionately low figure of atheists in prison. I mean, what are these poor, deluded atheists doing so wrong that they're failing to get themselves into prison?

Ya that stuff sucks. I grew up in MA which is a pretty liberal state, and therefore I really never knew how much atheists were hated. I have been an atheist since I was 11 and didn't really discover it until I was 18. Went to college in Florida and though it's more of a moderate state I experienced my first angry Christian yelling at me. Was walking through campus and some guy was handing out these little cards that had bible passages on the back with bottles of water saying "Keep hydrated!" He handed me the water first and then when I saw the card I said, "No thanks, I'm an atheist." He grabbed the water bottle back and told me I would burn in Hell. Nice guy...

Wow. I am so glad I have not been exposed to that kind of crap. I don't know if it is just because I am in Canada ? or because I don't talk about religion a whole lot with people other than family and friends.
