My favorite inane question from a believer:
}But, but...where will you spend eternity?

Me}Same place you will. (Unspoken: Dead. We will all be dead!)

I have used this many times over the years

Oh, I love this! And yeah, I don't shop at Hobby Lobby, either. And neither do I eat at Chik-fil-a. Although I do have to give Chik-fil-a a little bit of credit--in the aftermath of the Orlando shooting at the gay nightclub, Chik-fil-a provided free food to survivors and grieving family and loved ones.

Good story. When they ask me if I believe in the devil I am quick to point out that god and the devil come out of the same book.

I'm surprised he knew that Hobby Lobby is controversial and why. So, he knew that by piping in and suggesting you shop there, he was voicing his support for that corporation. Good that you spoke up and voiced your opposition. More people need to be proud and out - and speak up - to show there are more of us than many think. Many of us are nice older folks - often mistaken for "nice Christians" and it's time we break the stereotype that all nice people are religious.

Huh, so what I thought were just wrinkles from age are really the mark of Cain on my forehead? I'll be damned.

Okay, so "no" to the God thing and "no" to the devil worship, but what about dining on babies? What about the blood orgies?!

Nice story, but I really like to talk about veneers!

lol what a doofus, eh?

i never understood, though, why the mark of cain was thought to be a bad thing. in the myth called genesis, god doesn't kill cain; he tells him to go get lost. cain says he is afraid someone will punish him for his crime. god gives him a mark to PROTECT him. so people talk about that sort of backwards, don't they? if they bother. i myself only mention cain when he comes up in trivial pursuit, or, well, here lol

I'm interested in his inane question. Did he seriously think that as an atheist you must believe in, and probably worship, the devil?
That's beyond inanity. He's massively ignorant and not a little bit foolish.

Edit -- Additional: It's a shame that you didn't have time to explore the Hobby Lobby angle with him.

I get an image of a statement -- 'I don't believe in God, but I do spend a lot of my energy opposing evil'. Lol -- twirls moustache.

What about faeries? You at least believe in faeries, right?

My Shero, once again!

..very diplomatic;takes courage,but in the end staying
true to oneself also PRICELESS

Yeah believers can't comprehend that

to quote Mr. Burns "excellent" and a large lumber yard should be able to help you with the veneer.

Love love love when that happens! Good on you for killing him with some truth!

I keep seeing more and more the people and the stories of the Bible are not true. No exodus, no Noah’s ark, no Moses, maybe no Jesus. No evidence. How can anyone believe the Devil or anything else that’s in the Bible.

Tell me about Hobby Lobby, I have no idea about the store. I don't live in the US. Why won't you shop there?

Quite an encounter. You did a good job hiding your horns. I’m bald and ethnic Jewish so I have to wear a hat . I do admire your patience. Well done.

This made me chuckle! Thanks!!
There are many places I won't shop/eat at: Hobby Lobby, Chick-fil-a, Jimmy Johns, Wal-mart. I always say do what makes you happy. Not supporting these businesses makes makes me happy.

Why on earth do idiot religious folk always think that if you do not believe in God you must worship the devil? Are they really that thick?
It's like saying "I don't drive a car," and the immediate response being "Oh you must drive a van then" and when you say no and that you simply don't drive, they look baffled and say they don't believe you.

I will not shop there, either. Good for you speaking honestly in the face of someone who obviously does not understand reality....

Good job Atheist....Hobby Lobby is closed Sundays another bigot fundie store that also pisses on 7th Day Adventist xians a bit more literate on Saturday mornings with a bit of Hebrew tossed into their calendar and dogmas....so I suppose this xian jerk follows gays and lesbians around also to push them into xian stores denying workers rights like Hobby Lobby.....as for recent news about Church of Satan.....this idiotic new fad for pseudoAtheists to proclaim will only feed that fool xian wood finisher hunt for alleged bad gawd worshippers ....for those of you Atheists never been by a Hobby Lobby property the big store letters are PUKE ORANGE just like our President in the White House tiny fingered Apricot shitgibbon TRUMPolini

However, that does sound like a way to get leather to cover a chest !

My Mark Of Cain is the inane grin I wear. Can’t get rid of it no matter how hard I try.

I suppose I could get a proper job and engage with the world about Kardashians, the benefits of a paleo diet and the decline of suitable and affordable hair products. That would probably get rid of it and make me ‘normal’
