Why do Most Atheist Hide?

Chances are you know an atheist. Chances are quite high actually. More and more people are becoming atheists, not because it’s contagious mind you, but because people are becoming more educated and honest with themselves. At least that is what I hope for. I was just rummaging around the internet and found a couple videos. These chilled me to the bone. They reminded me greatly of the letter and hand written note I received in the mail. I was grateful that my grandmother didn’t know they were there. I feared for her safety and their reputation in town. It was one of the reasons I left and moved to the next town over. The other is because I’m a clutter bug and I was causing too much stress for my anal retentive grandmother who needs everything to look just so.(just so you know the whole story (c:)

I digress. These videos are a prime example why 90% of Atheist don’t say shit about what they believe.

We are afraid of losing our jobs, our friends and our families who are so deeply entrench in a belief system that breeds such hate for “the others.” I’m not just talking about christianity here people. Atheist are a minority being ruled by the paranoid religious. They are the living embodiment of victimhood. Without the delusion of being victims they would all die of boredom.

This is only one of many examples, this is recent and disturbing to me. The original article is here –> Examiner.com

Videos are Atheist made. Obviously.

The Thinking Atheist has so many great videos, I wish I had the balls to actually show this to my sister.

Working for conservative christians… it’s hard work.

You know the feeling? When someone says something so ridiculous that you want to laugh out loud but you can only do one of two things; node or ignore it?  Well, that was today my friends.

It’s pretty sad when your co-workers are surprised when there is still electricity and internet.  Apparently Obama is soooo muslim he wants to turn America into a muslim nation.  Please.  If that were true he would have welcomed al-Qaida in with open arms and bin Laden wouldn’t be being eaten by sea life right now.  True the people that buy the product we sell are betting on the end of civilization as we know it, and I’m actually amused by the people who call in and order because they are so happy to order from a ‘good christian’ company.  This amuses me on a level but for the most part it completely pisses me off.

First. We make a damn good product. It’s 100% US made, and it”s as durable as hell.  Second, it’s a small family business that employs good hard working people. The people that run it are some of the nicestest people that I have ever worked for, however they do let religion get in the way of pretty much everything. So do the customers. The people from the church groups think they should give them special discounts simply because they are from a church and especially if they are from my employer’s church. They’re tax exempt why not get a discount by guilting good ‘god fearing christians’ into thinking thats what ‘god’ would want them to do.  That’s bad for business.  (keep in mind they give generously to their own church and community)

The other day I got a call. “I’m so glad your product is US made by a small family business, but MOST importantly it’s a CHRISTIAN business!”  Why would it be the most important thing? Christian business’s have never ripped anyone off? Hardly.

An atheist works there, I’m sure a jew works there and a few other ‘lost souls’. That doesn’t diminish the quality and pride in the product does it? Hell no. I just had to get that out.

Also, I’m pretty proud of myself when they start in on the Obama conspiracy theories about he’s converting congress to communism… that he’s tapping everyone’s phones and trying to take away everyone’s guns.  I am just so freaking proud of myself that I don’t just laugh out right and call them idiots.  I do like these people, and I love working there for the most part, but there are days like today that make me wonder what it would be like to just be a freaking housewife and leave the workplace to someone who doesn’t have strong political and atheist views… then I remember… I hate cleaning house, so it’s off to work for me.  So much for being a Martha Stewart type.   )c:

PS: This was written quickly, and in great haste, please excuse the meandering about the topic.
