Damnit...Do I have to give back my atheist membership card since I drink coffee and am addicted to books?
Wow, I am seriously out of the loop! I drink Diet Coke, never play video games. I guess it’s like other animal societies where the young have to act up to show the elders how tough they are, or like new gang members who are required to shoot someone to prove they are worthy of being a member. The young preacher has to demonstrate his knowledge of Evangelical bullshit and get the congregation frothing at the mouth to be accepted by his elders.
I drink coffee and energy drinks. I'm an athletic nerd. I do not drink Coke, but I play video games here and there.
Is there something wrong with being addicted to either? Everyone on the planet is an addict to something. Caffeine, nicotine, movies, books, helping other people, sex, etc. some habits are worse than others. But people hear the word addicted and automatically attribute it to negative feelings.
-Shrugs-
Yeah, I've never had a coke, or snorted or smoked coke either. What am I missing here. Video game addict, well does Candy Crush Saga count? My real addiction is books and fabrics. And cats. And chocolate.
@Susurrus77 I have it on my cell, the laptop, and a tablet, only the laptop plays it on FB. The others I keep separate. I can quit anytime I want.
I have some generalizations in my mind about theists too, the only difference is I know they are generizations and I still need to take each person as an individual so I can overcome my own misguided prejudice. This particular preacher is doing nothing to change my generizied misconceptions.
If only I were. I might not feel so boring then.
