Yes, I apparently need converted

Well, I can tell spring is on its way.  I just had the knock at the door from someone trying to convert me. 

Should I just put a sign on the door that I am an atheist? Of course, then they would really want to save me. 

I need a sign than can detect the faith-based lunacy of the person walking up the steps so that it can say "I am a Muslim" or "I am a Jew" or some other such organized religion that those approaching my house would have enough sense to respect as my personal beliefs and not try to tell me how their belief system is better.

So, I told these guys that they are worshipping a god whom the followers believe is angry and vengeful. Just remember, when you point your finger at someone, three are pointing back to you. As I figure, their god has been known to do some pretty awful things, so I think it must have some pretty bad karma.  This guy actually told me that he doesn't think god is angry but that he is jealous. I didn't think jealousy was  really heathy emotion, but apparently it is no where near as bad as anger.

Maybe one day I will go to canvas a nearby neighborhood and tell people to not believe in god and that they are worshipping a sociopath.  But that's the thing with people that aren't in an organized religion, WE LEAVE OTHER PEOPLE ALONE to make up their own minds and to do their own thing. 

And I certainly wouldn't want to belong to an organized group of atheists!

Ya Chun- I am so sorry for the loss of your baby Serenity Joy. That's a beautiful name. I admire how you wish to remain positive through your grief. Positiveness is not an emotion I have felt in the last 3+ months, but one I wish I could feel again. I am so sorry you have to face this type of pain, it truly is devastating. You and your husband are in my thoughts and I wish you peace and comfort in each other.
