Things that affirm my atheism

[Farmer-Rick]

38. Geez, I wasn't trying to be insulting, honestly

I was trying to be fair to you. I didn't want to get you upset because you seem like a kind person who cares about others.

OK, I'll stay off the religious forum but I don't usually go there expecting respect for atheism. I know I'll get hammered there.

But, ok, if you want this atheist to keep away, fine.

I don't mind arguing with you here on this forum. But I just wanted to point out that it was the Atheist Forum and nothing about religion is respected here. I like a good argument. I'm an ENTP on the Myers Briggs, so arguing is almost a sport for me.

A lot of atheist have been abused by cults, religion and religious people using god to control them. Some of us have a gut response to the you-do-yours-and-I'll-do-mine platitudes some religious people try to put forth.

It usually means keep your atheism to yourself while
we turn a blind eye to all the religions pushing their theology into our laws and schools and public spaces. It's not an uncommon tactic to get atheist to quit fighting back.

So, sorry to put you off. Stick around if you like a good argument.
