Due to constant misunderstanding with my name I feel the need to change my intro. I am hateful, hateful of religion. I hate what religion does to people and that people use it as an excuse to not think. I have spent many years of my life as an Atheist and have learned to handle my emotions, but no other word quite describes how I feel towards religion short of hate. I am outspoken, open minded, and will share my opinion. If you're looking for someone who will always agree with you, that won't be me.

Question with 6 notes

Anonymous asked: Ah, so you've read the Bible too? I always find it amusing when people tell me that I should really read the Bible upon telling them I'm Atheist. I'm like, I was forced to read it quite a few times through Catholic school.. probably more than you ever have in your entire life.

I’ve read it a few times. I’ve actually come across quite a few people who are surprised by how well I know much of it and can discuss it. It can be interesting at times to discuss theology with very devout Christians who really do know their faith, being able to have an intelligent discussion with them can be interesting. It also often exposes many of the untruths they’ve simply been told but never bothered to look up themselves. It really has helped me with trying to understand history too and how things have changed throughout time.
