More distrusted than a gay black liberal Jew. Yup, that's me.

1. fortunately, all you need is a cross necklace

and nobody will know that you are not an agnostic.

2. Reminds Me Of That Woman On TV's "The View" Who Said...

... that she would NEVER trust an atheist. (Or that atheists couldn't be trusted... or some similar negative broad-brush comment about atheists.) What a bitchy thing to say!! -- Which one was it anyway?

5. "Star" Jones

She was a spokesperson for Payless Shoes.
I wrote them a letter a couple of years
ago and told them what I thought of their
choice of "spokesmodel".

I haven't bought a pair of shoes there
since.

DSW is my best friend now.....

7. A Real Piece Of Work, Ain't She?

Maybe she's afraid that the mean old atheist might steal her pie.

3. Here's an interesting phenomenon.

I am a Buddhist. I am, therefore, an atheist; I do not believe in a personified deity. I do believe in a sort of divine universal principle; I have a sense of the spiritual, of the numinous, but I do NOT personify it, and do in fact often tell people I am an atheist because I am a Buddhist.

Yet the reaction I get from people when I have this conversation is, "That's different; you're not REALLY an atheist."

I wonder why?

6. Because their labeling system cannot compute such a concept.

Adjusting said system requires thinking, which is painful to the majority of humans I've met.

13. i think the masses hear 'atheist' and they translate that to:

'hates God and Jesus Christ'

it's just too much for them- their brains implode.

4. My tax dollars at work

why oh why does the state of MN insist on funding such intellectual pursuits?

[swag]

8. Goodness. That's distressing, though not surprising.

But in some small way I take comfort in the fact that people who worship imaginary playmates don't trust me.

9. Yeah, sometimes I think I should "come out" more often.

Make use of the filter, you know.

10. Why do I never get these calls at my house?

I'm a Christian who has no problems w/ atheists.

I bet I've been blackballed from all calling lists.

[Hissyspit]

11. Me, too.
