I had an experience this evening that reminded me of something that might have happened to ghoulslime. Now, keep in mind that ghoulslime lives in Los Angeles, where atheism might be more "accepted." I live in a solidly red state, in a county of 80,000 people, with 250 churches (all but 1 christian - the one that isn't is a Mormon church). To say that I am in the minority would be a gross understatement.
My wife and I were in Applebee's, eating dinner this evening, as we always do on Friday. As we were eating, a girl walked into the restaurant wearing a T-shirt that said on the front "All religions lead to God", and on the back said "NOT!!!". I wasn't exactly sure what her shirt meant, but given the religious climate here, I assumed it was from some sort of church youth group.
As we went to leave after we had eaten, we passed by her table. I couldn't help myself - I said to her, "I agree completely with your shirt."
She replied with a smile, "thanks! What church do you go to?"
"I don't. I'm an atheist. I just don't think that ANY religion leads to god, since there IS no god."
I smiled at her and walked out. I wonder if she'll go back to her church's youth group and inform them that their shirts have a double entendre.
