Do not call me an atheist. Do not imply that I am, even when I talk about how my faith in the Church is fragile right now and has been for a while. This does not mean I have lost my faith in God, it just means I'm not thrilled with His fanclub right now and how some of the club officers are running things. It's people like you that are only making my situation worse. You don't know me. You don't know my situation. It's not your place to judge me. For that matter, you say it like it's a bad thing to be an atheist; I've had Pagans and atheists treat me more charitably than some Christians. This includes you. I reported your post, hopefully a mod will give you a little talk about things like being more charitable.

Sorry, just had to get that off my chest.

Just commenting to say I sort of know how you feel;

My manager is a born again Christian. She told me I was going to hell because I didn't put my faith in Jesus and worship him. I'm not an atheist, I believe in a spiritual world, am spiritual myself, and believe in some form of a God, but what she said really hurt. Just because I don't follow her religion doesn't mean I'm condemned to burn.

Ugh, sorry to hear that. :: Offers a hug::

Someone really, really needs to make a bumpersticker that reads, "My problem isn't with God, my problem is with His fanclub." Or maybe:

"Heaven protect me from my followers." -- Oscar Wilde
"You and me both, Oz." -- God

Ghandi said ""I like your Christ, I do not like your Christians. Your Christians are so unlike your Christ."
One of my favorites.
He also said, "If it weren't for Christians, I'd be a Christian."

You? An atheist? Where the hell did they get that idea from? Seriously though, people like that make me glad that I'm firmly in the religious equivelant of no man's land. I'm not an atheist either, I just don't care whether or not god exists, although if he does then I have a rather low opinion of him. I have an even lower opinion of people who use religion to justify being gits.

Ouch.
That person should listen to this: "Judge Not,Lest Ye Be Judged."
EVERY person has doubts about their faith. Interesting how those that holler the loudest and point fingers act the least like Christ.
