Quote of the Day, Department of Religious Affairs

[bloodyrosemccoy]

“When I say I realized I was an atheist when I was a teenager, I’m simplifying things a bit, because I was always an atheist. My big revelation wasn’t so much a realization that I was an atheist as it was a realization that other people weren’t.”

This quote was brought to you by our discussions of churchgoing at work. My coworker was totally cool with my being an atheist, because he’s one too, but he was also puzzled by the idea that I had been raised that way. Who knew atheism could be the default setting?

I love this pairing of comment and icon. Because I, too, grew up with ridiculously lofty ideals (and occasionally have trouble remembering/believing how narrow-minded some people can be)... and I attribute it in large part to the fact that the only TV shows I ever watched were educational things like Sesame Street... and Star Trek TNG.
