"Don't you feel compelled to tell the lad he is talking to himself? He must be delusional. Why not wise the kid up?

And three languages? Doesn't God know how to understand simple English? LOL"

Well, I imagine your deity would understand English, or Hebrew, or Aramaic.

As for me being compelled...I am compelled to let each person find his or her own path. Of the nine folks who will be at my Christmas dinner, only two are atheists. The rest are Lutherans. Majority rules at dinner, especially on Christmas day.

I've never spoken of my beliefs to my nephew, and will not unless asked, and then only after he is an adult. His mother and father are, and should be, his source of such information.

If anyone asks, I can add grace in French, Russian, and Spanish, using a traditional blessing from each culture. I've done it before.

You have a strange idea of what an atheist is, my antagonistic Freeper. I don't care what others believe.

You have an odd idea of what a Christian believes my little antagonistic friend. I don't have my own personal deity.

Umm, Lutherans are Christians, it's not a different religion or anything. And what are you atheists celebrating? Non God day?

Thank God.

So it's you who talks to yourself, not your nephew. LOL

Imagine, a grown man talking to himself in front of others and asking the thin air to "bless" his meal. C'mon dude, don't be a sissy, just dig in, get it before your fellows get it. After your dead it won't matter and you will get the most! LOL

You certainly do. You may pretend to yourself that you don't, but it is the ONE thing you hold most dear and long to tell everyone else who doesn't already know.

"Hi,,,I'm Mineral man, and I'm an atheist with no God."

You can kid yourself, but your tag-line gives away your priorities. You DO care what others think, and your tag-line is an open invitation to discuss it, the most important thing in your life is a non belief. It's sad.
