Most people who know me, are not at all surprised when they find out about my lack of beliefs. <BR/><BR/>I didn’t mean to suggest that I resorted to yelling, it's usually the other way around. I guess what I meant to say was when the other party begins to show signs of defensiveness or anger, I will just change the subject or stop talking all together. I'm a very monotone type of person, yelling is not only non-productive it hurts my throat hehe.

I think as more and more "normal" people come out and the country realizes how many of us there are we will start to be noticed. As it is now you could be in an elevator with another atheist/agnostic whatever and not even know it. Because unfortunately as it is now the only atheists that anyone sees are the brash arrogant ones that can give us a bad name. It would be like if the only christians that anyone ever saw were the Pentecostals speeching in tongues, it would be very easy to dismiss christians if that was all we saw. <BR/><BR/>writing a blog can be really fun and cathartic. but just like life, don't take it to seriously.<BR/><BR/>The only big I disagree with is that when a conversation get to the point of yelling Your wrong, I consider that a denigration of conversation not escalation, emotions have gone way up, but intelligence and usefulness have gone way down.<BR/><BR/>Have a good one.Kilgore Trouthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10860526600723545020noreply@blogger.com
