as an atheist the sign doesnt offend me, its funny. people are too sensitive imo.
i'll share an atheist story: someone i was having lunch with yesterday mentioned their top priorities in life are 1. god 2. fam 3. career, in that order. if i had interjected and mentioned that my priorities are 1. fam 2. career, it wouldve been taken as a personal insult by that someone. but i wasnt asked so i didnt interject. its something i think most atheists can relate to.
i personally detest atheists that think theists are dumb. Sir Isaac Newton might be the most brilliant human to ever live and he when he couldnt solve the 3-body problem he said it must be intelligent design. imo theism has nothing to do w/ intelligence. 85% of the world's leading scientists ar atheists, but what about the other 15%? they'd boat race me in a game of chess and have probably forgotten more than i'll ever know and yet they are theists. brians has nothing to do with it and i wish the vocal minority of atheists would shut their piehole.
with that being said, its been my experience that when religion comes up in convo i keep my mouth shut, but when asked about religion, i speak my mind and someone always gets offended.
i just ate a pound of meatloaf.

And we know this because atheists don't talk about it, right?

I wasn't offended at all. I was kind of just commenting on the back-slapping that was going on about how accurate the sign was, given that unlike the guys agreeing with the sign I actually am an atheist and that doesn't fit me at all.

All the time. this kind of thing happens ALL the time...you have to decide if you want to move along or get into a fight. Unless prodded into it, I grin and change the subject.

Agree...addressed this in an earlier post.

right...because it has nothing to do with HOW you disagree, but the fact that you disagree about something SO important and that disagreement is fairly gigantic. There's no polite way to tell someone that in essence you think they're completely wrong about their entire world world. I have no issue with people being upset with that...just that they then feel the need to pretend that by simply disagreeing you're being an a-hole.
