You know, I find militant atheists really, really off-putting. Nearly as off-putting as Bible-thumpers.

Of course, I should just remain calm and let them have their say, but when they spew anti-religion rhetoric without any independent thought, it just gets my goat.

As anti-religious as I am (and I am VERY anti-organized-religion, and for nearly the same reasons that I am anti-corporatization), I do recognize that religions, even the ones I find scuzzy at best, do help their members in some way, otherwise they really wouldn't have members.

Not a good fit for me, but then again, I am not like everyone else. I AM an individual, as is everyone else. (I'm not!")

Agreement. Thoughtless fantacism is frustrating in any context.

People stay with abusive boyfriends. They get something out of that.

Yes, they do. I'm not saying it's healthy, because it often is anything but (hence why I'm so anti-religion), but there's something for everyone.

However... when religion crosses the line of the law, then they, like the abusive boyfriends, need to get hauled in for it.
