Where do you go to church?
I'm an atheist. I don't go to church.

What happened to you?
Nothing. I woke up. I grew up. I outgrew it. Education. Enlightenment. One of those, depending on how shitty they want to get.

Why don't you believe in god?
I've seen no compelling evidence for the existence of a god or gods.

They want to be nice, I'll be nice. They want to get shitty, I'll get shitty and like it.

And if they're smart, they won't try it in front of their kids. I'll bust out a Santa Claus analogy so fast it'll make their heads spin...lol.

Burning bridges? LOL.
