I'm pretty much the only non-believer in my family and it creates a certain 'disconnect' with some of them - the constant references to God in conversation, the constant assigning of anything good that happens in our lives to God, that sort of thing.
And I even have a sister who thinks that I'm in a cult because I subscribe to the Humanist UK newsletter.
Does anybody else here put up with any similar problems?
George Carlin asked, where are all the zombies? That's the problem with zombies;they're unreliable.
NO. they're here in plain site and reliably spewing the god word in conversation. What does it even mean to believe in god? Love Herman Hesse's remark-the concept of god is an insanity.
When I was young , my little brother decided he didn't believe and stopped attending Sunday school . His third wife , is a believer . After one conversation , as we were about to hang up , he said something along the lines of , "God Bless , you ." My immediate response was , " Who are you and what have you done with my brother ." That ended that .
