Atheist need a Christmas

Notice that I am telling you in no uncertain terms that this is a baseless and biased assertion being made on your part. Normally, atheists either don't have family, don't spend time with that family, or have a family that doesn't follow their line of thinking this holiday season, which may cause tension. Every now and then, you'll find a full family of atheists, spending 'family' time together in warmth of spirit and love.
For you to attempt to assume that "normally" Atheists dont have family or dont spend time with family or have family that dont follow their line of thinking during the holiday season is completely unfounded and is nothing more than conjecture on your part. My entire family consists of educated individuals who share secular oriented beliefs and we certainly have spent time together. My beliefs do not conflict with theirs. I have also known despicable Christians. One is in prison right now. You used the word "normally" which implies that you are attempting to convey that it is the standard occurrence which is completely false and you wont be getting away with that on my watch. I agree with that! I find it rather offensive to be told that most atheists are lonely, family-less people. Has that person been living under a rock? |

As far as spreading negativity....I don't see any Christians suing,protesting,blocking traffic,rioting,or trampling on anyone elses rights or beliefs despite the fact we are under constant attack from every other religion and non religion out there. *cough cough abortion cough*
(also, shouldn't that thread be in general religion chat anyway?) |

(about the "In God we trust" on the money)
To be honest, I think some people in the US mind it, I think the Church and the State are supposed to be separate in the USA too, and this goes against it, doesn't it? (Not to mention that "In God we trust" was only added during the Cold War as a way to flip the bird at "those goddamn godless Commies", eh?) On topic, I'm an atheist and I celebrate Christmas. Why give up on an opportunity to have a festive behaviour? |

Hi, Erasmus student in Portsmouth here, recovering from a breakup. I'm mainly trying to get a chance to feel the sweetness of romance again and to make another girl happy. You may find me moping a bit in the beginning, but I'll hopefully get over that soon enough.
