So this dude stopped talking to me because I expressed my opinions about religion. As in -- I think it's bullshit.
And this dude told me he was an agnostic.... That he wasn't convinced much by any religion. What the fuck is your problem then?
Things were fine at first. We talked about our experiences helping out at rehab centers. I shared an experience I had visiting an elderly rehab center for people with neurological disorders with my church youth group. We tried sharing the "good news" with a group of elderly men playing poker. Didn't go very well. One of them was immediately pissed that we brought up the issue. "Jesus loves you!" we told him. "Oh yeah? Where was God when I lost my leg in 'nam?? Don't talk to me about no loving God..." And he was right.
Shortly afterwards we decided to sing a few songs to some of the elderly in the main hall.
Anyhow, never did I mention I was a card-carrying atheist, which led this guy to believe I was a Christian. I was very quick to correct him. And... sure... I might as well give my two cents about religion, right?
He never replied. Did I come off as confrontational? No. And why would he be offended?? I guess he's just embraced that "politically correct" mentality --If it sounds like it would offend other people, I guess I'll just go ahead and act offended-- Why not think for yourself, you tool!!
Pathetic.
