Thread Name: BS: Atheism hits the mainstream!
Subject: RE: BS: Atheism hits the mainstream!
You know, I don't think I've ever gone up to anyone and said, "Hi! Are you an atheist?"

When the "missionaries" came to our door a) my wife responded "Catholic and likely to stay that way" and b) I said, "What the fuck business is it of YOURS?!"

Sometimes I think I may be more short tempered than my wife, but I can't call a 19-year-old punk "Elder." Hell, I can't bring myself to call ANYONE "Elder." Those who deserve the title don't wear little signs announcing it and don't insist upon being called it.
