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?

It's weird, because I know in theory that I believed in a deity, but I can't remember what it felt like. I can't imagine how I could have believed such patent nonsense and can't wrap my brain around how other supposedly intelligent adults still do. ::shakes head::
