Like you, we get the same reaction from others--people think we're bizarre creatures from some other planet. I used to have some close friends who reacted the same way to my dislike of sports. I found it curious that they considered me odd when they were the ones who spent hours each week jumping around, screaming and hurling things at the TV.

As to whether or not they're Christian, I'm certainly not going to play NTS with them. They call themselves Christians so they're Christians.

It seems to me they're used to imply we're just labeling ourselves atheists, while we're really still believers (like all decent people are). We're just rebellious children going through a phase until we grow up and admit we believed all along. Ugh.

I also boycott any business/corporation that donates to anti-gay or similar causes . It can get tough at times as the list has grown quite large but I refuse to knowingly fund my own oppression by giving it to people who are going to turn and use it against me and mine.

It's terrifying how vicious God's chosen ones get when they aren't allowed to force their beliefs on everyone.

What I find most amusing and annoying is that the biggest proponents of these "No Sharia" laws are the ones who are staunch advocates of "Biblical Law". They don't even see the hypocrisy of their positions.

I didn't mean to imply otherwise.

Sexism exists in the atheist community because it exists in society. I daresay the sexism in the atheist community is far less pervasive and insidious than that in most religious groups, and possibly somewhat less than what exists in general society.

Sure they preach about "values", "family" and "morality" but when you come right down to it they're all about money.

It's one of the unfortunate side-effects of them having so much undeserved, unearned privilege for so long.

These "family" groups are nothing more than bullies who work to pressure others into bending to their will. It would be too easy to ignore this incident because we're not the targets, but in many other cases we are. It's best to denounce all of their irrational, bigoted, egotistical demands for the good of everyone.

Now I'm very particular about which charities I give to. I pre-screen them to weed out the ones that proselytize, as well as any that are anti-gay, anti-choice or otherwise in opposition to my values.

It's logical that they would have no empathy for the poor, the sick, disaster victims, etc. If only those people would repent and embrace God, they'd enjoy the good fortune the wealthy RRRWers do.
