Do the people around you get tired of this message of joy many of us bring to them?

I don't discuss it with people in person any more. Only on the Internet.

I reference it now and then but I don't talk about it at great length. I wouldn't want to be subjected to any conversion speeches, so I try not to do it to anyone else.

I limit myself to 3 sentences about any similar topic with friends ,with others I do try hard not to get into it but if they don't get the odd hint like me falling on the floor in hysterics pointing and screaming " You believe WHAAAAT ????!!!!???" then they might be upset when I Start to ridicule the tooth fairy /shyhook/santa/8armed elephant thing they think loves them very conditionally .

Somebody did a count once on one of these type threads and found like four religious sites for every one atheist, and that most religious sites kick atheists off but most atheist sites tolerate religionists.

I don't bother talking about it, but then again I don't have many religious friends. We'll be visiting family friends at Xmas, many of whom are religious. I'll try to keep my mouth shut, since the last time I opened it I got myself in trouble with Mrs. Lak and her mum. Seems they don't like people being called "deluded fuckwits" at the dinner table. :dunno:
Yeah well that's just, like, your opinion, man.

No not really, since none but one of my friends has ever expressed a belief in any God and the one who has, has a conception so wildly different from "Creator of the physical universe" that there isn't really much to refute.

Still if anyone else brings up the subject with me, work colleagues, shop keepers, annoying "witnesses" and the like I'm happy to get into it, not to change their mind you understand, fuck them, more to establish my complete disregard and lack of respect for their nonsense, so they never perster me with it again.
