Urgh. I wasn't trying to sound like an asshole, though now I realize that it might've come off that way. I'm sorry if it did. I tend to stick my foot in my mouth. ^_^;;; For the record, when that happens, feel free to go, "Hey, you're kind of being an asshole right now." It doesn't always click right away that I've said something stupid.
Out of curiosity, what made you realize that you were atheist? I always wonder what brings other people to it.
Robin Williams had a line about our Puritan roots several years ago that's stuck with me- something like: "The Puritans- our ancestors- people so uptight, the -English- kicked them out." I try to keep that in mind concerning other countries, because we are SO much more sexually repressed here than in a vast majority of the world. Religion is a huge part of that. Unfortunately.
