Mock all you want, but don't expect anyone to take you seriously.
an atheist responds "do you think this is useful"....
and it's the atheist who is "mocking"...
Pot, kettle, black.
Don't expect anyone to take you seriously
I don't really ask to be "taken seriously" since I have no desire to advocate for atheism or to undermine your faith.
You would be right to be angry with me if I were on a rampage against religion, constantly in the courts asking for religious symbols to be taken out of state seals and the like.
But I can choose, and have chosen, not to be an obnoxious, lawsuit happy militant secularist. What I can't choose is not to be an atheist, any more than I can choose not to be a redhead.
All I'm asking is to get along. I won't insult you for what you believe and you won't insult me for what I don't. OK?
