i agree about atheist fundiesalso anarchists
I don't really care if god or government is not someone's style, but if I would rather have a god and a government,
stupid arguments to the contrary, especially ones full of vitriol, will not make me see any light...
I suppose, I cannot stand evangelical anything's... yuck!
if pushed, I might admit to being xtian, but it would take a lot.. I think faith is like sex, it should be private, unless you want to go
to mass or to an orgy or something.. (same difference)
I remember once, while I lived in Australia, I was curious about some xtian youth group, so I agreed to go along just to observe.
It turned out to be the predictable touched by the spirit nonsense.. talking in languages, falling over, having seizures, whatever.. groping...
I mean laying of hands...
so at one point I threw up my hands, and started to yell and gesticulate in Finnish, knowing that the chances of anyone speaking it were remote...
I swore up a storm, and insulted everyone's heritage, and then discussed the weather, before moving on to hedonistic sex acts...
after, everyone was very impressed that I had been touched in the spirit
---
which is not to say people cant be touched in the spirit, but please, go somewhere else and don't do it around me, ack!

I agree wholeheartedly.I am intrigued to know others' beliefs, but I do not want them impressed upon me.
