My wife has begun telling all her friends I’m an atheist and telling them about my website. I think it’s kind of funny. This is the same church I used to attend.

I am, however, hesitant around my clients to bring up religion. I’ve only heard back from 20% of my friends that I told through email.

There’s a room in your mind that is locked by religion. I’m amazed at how big that room was and how quickly it’s filling up. I already know more about my rights and the bible then some of my christians friends.

Atheism, WooHoo.

I actually enjoy the attaboy letters unlike my distinguished co-host but would also like to have some debates. Perhaps we can try and have a Christian podcast host on to discuss a topic in the near future.

As far as Marie goes, she hasn’t figured it out yet. She is actually a neighbor not a co-worker. She certainly knows that I am not a Christian but doesn’t know about the show yet or how anti Christian I am. We were talking last night at the gym about a friends children and how they were becoming impossible to control, I quoted Leviticus 20:9 about killing your children and this surprised her a bit. Of course she hadn’t heard of the verse as she, like most Christians, doesn’t actually read the bible. She will figure it out eventually but I don’t think it will change our relationship, I will certainly report if it does!

You are correct that I don’t listen to or contact Christian podcasts, radio shows, etc. But I do find it more interesting to field questions from people who disagree with me – and if it makes them look “militant” that doesn’t really bother me. Plus, I would think our listeners would be far more entertained listening to a good debate than hearing us read endless lists of attaboy letters.

Thanks,
John

I really think that you’ve nailed the atheist crowd and many agnostics. Your shows are educational to a Brand New Atheist such as myself.

David, you mentioned at one point you worked with a young woman who didn’t know your position on the whole God issue. What happened.
