So I am at work this afternoon out front taking a smoke break with 2 of my employees.

43. Of course I don't hate Christians for having their beliefs.

I hate Christians pushing them on me. They weren't clueless at all, if they were then when my other employee said he was an atheist then they would have just left him alone. Right? But they didn't. They had to give judgement right then and there. He engaged and they had, just absolutely had to tell him that they thought he was wrong, right? They didn't try to exit at all, we had to walk away from them. We exited. Why are you making things up that you don't know? Yeah, some of them have blinders and ear muffs. Exactly what I said in different ways. That's cool if you would have cringed and told them what's up. Great. But you are also making excuses for them. Its not the exact same of course but what if some guys acted very shitty toward some women and you said " Well, some guys have blinders and ear muffs on them". "Well, some bigots have blinders and ear muffs on them". "well, some racists have blinders and ear muffs on them", "some Nazis have blinders and ear muffs on them". You are excusing them for a very bad behavior because you think they are ignorant. You think. But you don't know this. They think atheists are bad people because they are ignorant. Because their religion tells them so. This is not a good argument for religion.
I was the peace, I did the peace.
I never took offense at everything others say and let them rent space in your brain.
How absurd for you to say that.
When you stand where I stand, where being a Christian is against the law in states to run for office,
When you tell a fellow student when you are 14 that you are a christian and they say you are a devil worshiper so that the entire school thinks you are for the entire time you are there,
When your entire family and 2/3 rds of your friends think you are going to spend a eternity in torment cause you don't think the same opinion they do,
Let me know.
Until then, you can wish we all get along, cause that's all I'm doing and you are telling me I am overreacting.
