You're irritated with my use of the word Values? What? I'm sorry if it hasn't become apparent at this point, and the fact that I've never said anything negative about atheism probably supports this, but I'm a pretty open minded person. Hell, saying 'open minded' sounds wrong. I have nothing against any one race or belief system for any reason whatsoever. So when you turn my irritation with Sekto Springs into a hissy fit about Religious people persecuting Atheists, it makes me think that you're either trolling or honestly believe that every religious person is as batshit insane as you seem to be.

Everywhere you go, you hear this shit about values. "I'll only vote for someone who shares my values" is a line that is heard non stop at election times around here. And it
is an attack on atheists, but it's also an attack on mormons, presbyterians, muslims, buddhists, and anyone who does not subscribe to the exact branch of religion that this particular person does. It's extremely grating, and bigoted. However, my saying this is
not an attack on you. It's just a general complaint with the expression. I purposely did not address that to you. I understand that you are not a manic zealot.
To be honest, (at the risk of sounding condescending and smug) I would say that you are, at the most, about two years away from a revelation, at the end of which you will declare your atheism. Of course, I could be wrong.
