Thanks again to maladaptive....

Here's the question. I know I'm probably a bit biased when it comes to religion because I'm not religious. At all. And then you see these fundies, and even though you *know* the vast majority of religious people are perfectly reasonable people... you end up twisting your views a little to see all religious people as potentially creepy and illogical and, well... insane. In a bad way. After all, they all believe in weird things that can't be proven, right? Right? It's all fascinating, but... different.

But I'm told that many religious people have the same views about non-religious people. And I know full well that most people on either side don't recognize their own bias when they walk right into it.

So, here's my question: Are there any atheist/agnostic fundies out there I haven't encountered before? Because I'd like to see, just for my own edification. I'm not sure if my belief that there aren't any is because, well, there aren't any, or if it's because I just don't see them as much/clearly.

(Oh, and click the scary link. Thanks)

jfkdl;ajk;f what.

I know NUNS that wear pants to church. What. The hell.

Um, cannot answer your question, but can sympathize with getting skewed views of people due to CRAZIES like that.

When a woman takes on the appearance of a man, she often develops the attitude of a man. There is nothing more despicable than a masculine woman (except a feminine man).

that disgusts me. the person who wrote all this needs to take a look at themselves. he/she is judging everyone, which should be a sin in their book too. it's one thing to write an "unbiased" argument, but calling others despicable for their "sins" is judgemental; why aren't they judging themselves too? since i don't believe in sinning, though, i can judge that author all i want.

Clearly you didn't read The 10 Fashion Commandments part of the Bible. God has some very strong feelings about clothing. Although mostly it seems to be not to mix two kinds of fabric in one garment. So cotton-poly blends are bad.

Your icon is hypnotizing me.

From my standpoint most everything that has to do with religion in the US seems a whole lot more fundamental to me than anything to do with religion here. And when I say religion I am not only speaking of those that have a deity, but also those that don't believe in them. Because it takes more belief to be certain that there is nothing out there that might have caused the world than believing that something caused the world.

Here people are a lot more relaxed towards religion, but also not so religious. In many ways the society is more secular, but people generally are not atheists, they hold some personal beliefs and aren't so in your face about it.
