Being opened minded is the best way to be

The organized religions of the world want people to be closed minded, easier to control them.

Oh yes, I live in southeast Texas. I have to whisper to someone what I believe and hope I don't get shot with a paint gun or worse lol. It does make people uncomfortable initially but after you get past that you can possibly make good friends. I don't volunteer that information but if asked directly I wouldn't avert the truth.

But is alright for them to try and convert us with their belief. Ugh!!! Freaking people!!!

Shana's just worried that if you tell her religious friends, they will disapprove of her because she's friends with you.

It's crap that people think what they think about atheism but it's good advice since the world at large at least in the US is largely Christian who are at odds with atheism often times in an uncivil manner.

Life is boring if you are always comfortable Don't be silenced if people don't want to hear what you have to say well who needs them

If you have a 'friend' who tells you to "keep your Atheism/Agnosticism to yourself" then that is a 'friend' you would be far better off not having at all.

When you say you're 100% certain that there is no or s (as you do in your profile) then I can understand why why someone might take issue. Saying "I know there is no or s" is an assertion that must be supported, and as far as I've seen there's no reason to think belief is more or less likely than nonbelief. My current answer is I'm not sure and I don't feel that you shouldn't have the right to feel how you want to but I do feel that you should see why folks might not be so closed off to the idea of a or s.

So she dosen't care about your feelings I think you should unfriend her

I am beginning to think that many people don't believe as strongly as they think they should, and are scared of someone saying they don't believe in case it is contagious.
