I've been thinking. Which I do often, but try not to brag about, as not enough people do. A couple days ago, I posted a picture of a dinosaur eating a christian fish. It's my current favorite thing, it's so funny. Also dinosaur. and thought after the fact about whether or not I would be offending my christian friends.
Christian friends. I don't have many left, which on the one hand is odd, having been raised fundamentalist, and doing undergrad at a christian school. Then again, perhaps not so odd, as I have a zero tolerance policy for friends being anti-gay. It's specific to friends. I can work with people that are, interact with them and be civil, but I won't subject myself to that for "fun."
Anyway, this morning, I was struck by a thought. Do my christian friends worry about offending their atheist friend when they post about how great god is, and how god is the reason they accomplished x, y, or z? I haven't asked, but I have to think that they don't,
And you may be thinking "Well, yeah. But it's different." Cause that's what I thought at first. But how? How is it different?
Really, we're all doing the same thing. We're all on this epic search for truth, and no one has the answers. It's just that we've arrived to completely different conclusions as to what truth probably is.
So I'm unapologetic in my atheism, just as others can be proud of their faith, I'm proud to have gotten rid of mine.
Life gets in the way. I want to type more, but if I save this to add to later, I never will.
