I keep seeing questions of "Why do you X hate us Y?" the place X and Y are interchangeably believers and non-. many human beings are extremely well mannered and truthful, yet others are outright trolls, and there are a gaggle of in-between varieties that are rude, presumptuous, arrogant, preachy and slightly bitchy. Others come for the relaxing, and seek for to work together combatants in a witty conflict of mind. in case you ask that question approximately why "they" are recommend, each and every of the traditional human beings will respond "not me! Why do you generalise?...", together as the authentic villains stay silent. So, it particularly is purely the way this place is. you pick a think of epidermis to linger, and an ability to the two forget approximately with regard to the flak, or handle it head on. in case you do stay, this is a super kind of relaxing, and you will even experience gentle with having a bypass back on the villains and jousters. purely take this place with a huge pinch of salt...

Nope. It means you've met an atheist with a sense of humor. A high school friend of mine would do things like that, and cross himself too.

No, it means we're socialized to the point where some sayings stick with us even after we've opted for atheism.
I've had atheists bless me when I sneeze. Automatic pilot.

Thinks that has reach the level of a figure of speech. Like 'hit the road' or 'get out of here'. Saying it does not indicate that you literally believe it.

No more than blurting out the word crap means that I just actually soiled myself, or that monkeys are flinging poo at me, or anything else to do with feces.

No, it means its a commonly used figure of speech.
When I say "Hit the road" it doesn't mean i'm going to take a stick and stand out in the middle of the street hitting the road with it.

I've said 'egads' for years, even back when I was still a Good Christian.
It's from 'ye gods'. Does that mean I was really a Norse pagan?
