Okay, so at my school, I've discovered some serious issues with people who seem to think being Christian is the only way to live. We're forced to pray at school, and I got yelled at for not standing for the pledge, which, btw, is forced patriotism, which, btw, is illegal.
I even got in trouble for putting reference to the fact that I'm Atheist on my webpage.
What is with today's society and its inability to realize that Satanists and Atheists are not the same thing.
I have people come up to me on the street and ask me if I do sacrifices.
The other day, in this stupid little class we have at school, we were talking about abstinence and such, and some girl goes "we can't have sex, because it's not Christian." and, obviously, I said "yeah, well, what about the ones of us who aren't Christian."
Do you know how quickly heads turned to give me a look of disgust. Whispers constantly are in my presence as I walk down the hallways, everyone knows I'm Atheist, and only about two people can accept it.
Being Christian is not the only way to live. And I've gotten the whole talk from my mother, that if I was a true Christian, I'd know that "following god" is the only way to live a happy life. Newsflash: I don't believe in God or Christianity.
And I'm not disrespecting people who do, I mean... I'd respect someone who worships a Paegan goat god, it just is really infantile when people don't respect me back.
Seriously, does anyone have any insights on the subject or anything?
