How many times a day do you receive a comment from someone that starts with "I know you don't believe in God, but..." followed by their total disrespect of your feelings by sharing some self-indulgent and utterly meaningless promise to pray for you or some religious homily that has given their superstition more validity in their own eyes? How do you respond when this happens?

It doesn't happen to me that way. Instead, I get remarks from my boyhood religious friend that suddenly takes our current harsh reality into how he sees it all by following his book of Revelation. It's like he keeps reminding me of times when I could see this also. He doesn't understand why I cannot see it today.

Never, I live in the UK, it not a problem here.

Never. Nobody I know, or who knows me, would be that crass.

Crassness is a Great American Tradition, I'm afraid.

Not one time ever. I think I might burst out laughing, depending on the circumstances.

Never!

Zero.

Never. Generally speaking, I keep my Atheism to myself.

Never. The first time it happens, shame on you. The second or more times it happens, shame on me.
