As a relaxed agnostic, I am in the "ignorant and apathetic" camp - I don't know, and I don't care.

However, at a company Christmas party some time back (and I was "out" as Agnostic) I just about made a Christian friend's head explode when I told him he was more of an atheist than I.

"How can you say that!?!?!? I believe in God!"

"I know," said I," but I don't believe or disbelieve in ANY of the hundreds of gods that H. Quasi Sapiens has come up with. YOU actively disbelieve in all but one of them."

He didn't talk to me for a month - and never spoke of his religion to me again..

Well done and a great perspective

I agree with him. What you did was antisocial and obnoxious.

I neglected to mention that said Christian friend was, prior to my comment, attempting to preach his gospel at me. i.e., he started that ball rolling; I just kicked it out the door.

@matthew1954 that is an important detail. But sometimes it is best to disengage entirely.

I agree, but it wasn't the first time - and fortunately, it was a small company, and the President was not cool with it, he was having a hard time not laughing out loud - but when I got into the Corporoid world, I became MUCH more discrete. Fortunately, I was only in that world for a few years

Well played. Well. Played.

I'd consider myself lucky.

Mission accomplished.

Nice twist on a theme I've used. I pointed out to a Christian that both she and I were Atheist about the 2000+ gods that man has invented, and the only difference between us was concerning one of those. It definitely elicited a hmmm response from her.

Love it! I’ll have to use that some time.

Definitely more of a hypocrite too

Brilliant ill use that myself, thank you.

It's very freeing. Isn't it?.
