I just clicked "like" on the American Atheists page or whatever the hell it's called.
so I log in today to find this message from a girl I went to middle and high school with:
Quote : | "Hey, I saw your post. I had a question, just out of curiosity: why are you an atheist? I hope you are ok, and if you ever want to talk let me know." |
wtf....how in the hell does me being an atheist imply that I'm not okay???
Reminds me of this:

because evangelicals assume everyone that's not christian is horribly depressed because their belief in god is the only thing that brings purpose to their meaningless lives 10/8/2010 6:13:13 PM |

Well, I usually say "hope you're doing okay" or "Hey, are you doing alright?" in any generic message I leave. But you're probably right, that assumption you've made about all evangelicals is much more likely to be the case than a common social norm or saying. Just playing devil's advocate here. 10/8/2010 6:36:59 PM |

Hey Shawna, I saw your mad-smiley post. I have a question, just out of curiosity: why are you so defensive about being an atheist? I hope you are ok, and if you ever want to talk let me know. 10/8/2010 7:02:33 PM |

Well I expected that my "friends" would not assume that there was something wrong with me for not believing in a higher power. 10/8/2010 7:11:30 PM |

Dude, some of them really believe it. Like in their hearts and shit.
I had a girl cry on me in high school cause she really liked me and didn't want me to go to Hell. 10/8/2010 11:12:36 PM |

the problem with atheists and the type are that they absolutely have to tell you that they are atheists.
see this thread. 10/9/2010 12:04:43 AM |

^^^Dude, Christians are all the time telling other people about being Christian, often without even considering the fact that the person they're talking to may have differing beliefs.
I'm not going to deny I'm an atheist if asked and not going to pretend like it's something that should be swept under the rug.
^^How is this a thread about how cool atheists are? If someone insulted your Christianity, you'd surely feel justified in stating your dismay.

yeah, i actually feel like i'm kinda forced to stay "in the closet" about my non-religious beliefs.. it's not exactly "cool" with my friends and family, but the internet seems like a good place to let it out. although i certainly don't care enough to try to argue with anybody about what they or i do or don't believe. 10/9/2010 12:20:26 AM |
