Christian Hypocrisy In Action

WCH said:
You folks in other state are just plain weird and rude.

I can't recall a single
time that's ever happened to me plus, we have non believers over for Christmas, Easter, Thanksgiving and every other holiday where we all hold hands while my Wife say the blessing. Never had anyone feel say a word.

Maybe that's why our state would be just fine as it's own country.

How do you know they are non-believers?

Did you read the link???

Some people have been fired from jobs, lost spouses and children, and generally been treated as outcasts.

Just because it doesn't happen to you, up in New England, doesn't mean crazy religious crap doesn't happen in the BIBLE BELT.


Come on now...please try to keep up here.

Meh. I live in the Buckle on the Bible Belt... and I have serious doubts that many (if any) people have lost their jobs or kids over being an atheist, at least not in the past decade or so. I suspect there were other issues and they're trumpeting their atheism as a smoke screen.

As for losing their spouse... well that's between them and the spouse isn't it...
 
A lot of atheists are hard to like, similar to many fundamentalist preachers, because each are so condescending. Like the guy playing the keyboard in the video saying he doesn't believe in God because he has a brain. People like that do not impress me at all.

I have witnessed first hand the malice of the malevolent organized Christian churches. I say it all the time...

The number one problem with Christianity isCHRISTIANS. look how they represent themselves here. Judgemental hateful aggressive and unfriendly. Who would want to join this circus? It's days are numbered if they don't clean up their act. But there is no chance it ever will.

Likely (as with most atheists) they did not broadcast anything, but were presented with a situation in which they were expected to be Christian...and simply made it clear they were not. It's not as if we walk around "Spreading the Word", though we may correct the pronunciation.

That's generally how it happens with me. There's some situation where a certain reaction is expected and then suddenly someone is angry with you for not doing it. One of the earlier ones I remember was at school where a friend's mother suddenly went off on me for saying "goddamn". She specifically invoked her religion as she told me what I could or couldn't say. She thought that her religious mores should control my actions. I had another during a job where I worked in a recording studio. My boss was very religious and after some very disparaging comments over a comedy routine that I had mentioned, I was legitimately afraid to say anything when he was describing his anger over the falsehoods of evolution. Getting fired for not agreeing with his religion was a real possibility.

Hiding my atheism has been necessary quite a few times in my life.
 
I am an atheist, I live in Ohio and married into a Catholic family. I have yet to meet a Christian who took a negative approach to me because of my lack of belief. The truth is, I have met far more atheists that are ***holes than I have met Christians.

Christians are nice to your face and then go nasty when protected by the anonymity of the internet. So far I have been condemned to hell by half a dozen.

I meet jerks of all walks of life.
