In my experience if youre an atheist there will be many, many times in life when you are faced with the dilemma that is “i really like this person, but their religion is so woven into the fabric of who they are that I can not voice my own beliefs around them without them taking it personally and, in a lot of cases, morally.” When you are faced with this dilemma, you can either shut up and never voice your own beliefs while they continue to voice theirs unimpeded, or you can risk them seeing you as a bitch.
And im telling you right now from personal experience to always choose being a bitch. No matter how much you like someone, if they can voice their beliefs freely but your own have to be locked up tight while they begrudgingly tolerate them, that’s an unhealthy dynamic that is going to boil up and explode one day. And im also telling you from experience that when that explosion happens, the religious person is the one whose side everybody takes, because as an atheist you are seen as inherently aggressive and bigoted towards religious and spiritual people even and especially in “progressive” spaces.
This is not limited to religion either, this also includes if your witchy friend is allowed to talk all day about your star chart and how it determines your personality but you saying “I dont believe in spirits or astrology or spells” sends them into a death spiral
Okay you guys can have this one back but the second I get called a fucking FASCIST again for this its gone again
so are all the christians gone yet or is this going to be an afternoon rapture
it happened but the only true christian on earth was a green-breasted hummingbird. he will be dearly missed by his friends and family who assumed he was eaten by an outdoor cat, but other than that, life remains unchanged
the legally blonde mentality isnt just for law students. u can bring that attitude with you into every field of work. be the whimsical force of positive change. wear that neon outfit. snaps for us all.
this post was inspired by my boss telling me she couldnt “take me seriously” in a pair of dinosaur print overalls. sorry i have two degrees and a dope wardrobe. you dont need to take me seriously but You Will Take Me.
