Do your loved ones know that you're an atheist?

I poke them with my rosary if they're not paying attention to my non-atheism.

I really like to save the environment and recycle atheist magazines that I find around campus.

My family and friends know only too well that I am not an athiest. It's just too obvious that I'm not

I'll loan you a forklift so you can unload this question.

People have always I was an athiest. Especially the more religious people I knew.

I just dont stick to organized religion. I believe there is something out there. I just dont know what it is.

In other words, "there's a hunger of some kind...and I know something must fill it...but I'm not willing to accept the possibility that it's the same thing that fills everyone else, nor that there are certain people who eat it, but don't allow themselves to eat enough of it to fill them (those who do not practice the faith demanded by a religion, but do not stick to its tenets, i.e. the hypocrites most agnostics point to for the reason of their lack of faith)."

If that's the case, of course...then a banquet is being served...why do you stop yourself from eating just because others don't want any more?

[color=#ff0066]I think they'd probably wonder about my sanity if I was an atheist.... who bursts out into praise and worship incessantly.[/color]

I could never be an atheist....again.

I used to be one but then I came to my senses.

No, I was raised catholic, and didnt like being repremanded for asking simple questions (What about dinosaurs one I remember clearly). I was having Catholicism kinda crammed down my throught, but then I learned of the massive amount of corruption, and bloodshed caused by organized religions for thousands of years.

The Crusades, The Inquisition, the conquest of the Americas, shooting abortion doctors, Palestinian childeren with bombs strapped to thier chests marching into a shopping mall, Isreali tanks firing into crowded tenements, just more things to turn me away. I just found it unnerving that these people who's beliefs were based on peace, could have so much blood on thier hands.

I would be such a good atheist if only God would stop pestering me.

I'd be a better deist than I would an atheist.

Indeed it does, so let's all deliberately lie to ourselves and become Catholic.
