Reply #90: Well, I met a few last week [View All]

While they're not going to rip my god away anytime soon, talking with them was a little like dealing with my fundie relatives -- they are right, you are wrong, and by God (if you excuse the expression), one of these days you'll see things their way.

That said, most non-religious are not that way at all. I know more than a few of them. Although I've also met an atheist who was a neo-con before neo-con was cool. I'm beginning to think this is a character trait; has nothing to do with a belief system or a lack of it. People who are rigid will be rigid and there's not a whole lot you and I can do about it.
