Last time, defendant was accused of selling 3000milligrams of cocaine. I told the Judge it was just 3grams. Was then sent home

Almost 100% of what get blanket termed "science" and is posited against religion/God stuff amounts to a false dichotomy. I find it annoying as hell and have felt compelled to completely ignore it. Much like politics. Anyone else?

Atheists are one of the most butthurt groups of people in the world.

Ironically, only butthurt Christians believe that.

I'm neither religious nor a believer. Nor a butthurt atheist.

There are lots of passive atheists, but you only know about the butthurt ones. It's science.

Tell people what they believe is wrong and that they need to believe in your God: evangelist spreading the good word.

You are about to get accused of a false dichotomy.

No one ever tells me about Jesus. I've known many atheists that never shut the eff up about it. They love the crap out of feeling superior.

I honestly have never been approached by someone I didn't know and been told I should be an atheist. Have been approached by the religious and told I need more Jesus in my life a lot of times. A lot.

Did the Christians seem butthurt about it? I can assure you that you've passed by many silently butthurt atheists.

People that never shut the eff up about not having God are the same exact people that never shut the eff up about not having TV

I had some religious nut jobs try to convert me once when I was wasted in Aggieville. That's the only time, though, other than random visits by Mormons.
