Here's the thing--there are no rules. There is no "Atheist Overlord" who tells people who is allowed to be atheist or agnostic. There are people who have OPINIONS. You have an opinion. So do I.
And these Sunday Assembly people think that you've got it all wrong. I think they've got it right.
There are lots of 'em. And they're growing.
Being "atheist" is not like being homosexual, and you insult the LGBT community by trying to play that card. People can change their mind about their atheism, and they can change it back again if they'd like -- the SA people get this, even though they don't "do" deities.
What a ghastly comparison that was.
Wow--the loss of control is an issue, I'm seeing! You're not handling this well at all...dragging the gay people in to try and support your point was really a bridge too far, I'm afraid.
