Are you too angry about religion?

The souvenir turns out to be a memento for confirmation, which makes the confirmed a "soldier of Christ."

So you're doomed to go to heaven whether you like it or not?

Turncoats are exempted. I'll be compost and eventually stardust again, like everybody else.

I pray that my children will not become religious fanatics.

I don't always want to be antagonistic to believers at all times. Although, sometimes I do want that. I wrestle with the fact that I can afford to be more open about my beliefs which then makes it a little easier for a nonbeliever who doesn't feel like they can say something. I'm now in Tennessee. There are a lot of nonbelievers here. But they are very quiet and I want to be noticed.

Paint yourself blue, half dress in a teddy bear costume and walk about with your genitalia out singing "All things bright and Beautiful."

That'll get you noticed.

In the military we learned to keep our mouth shut about religion. It doesn't have much relevance to people whose job is to kill people and break things. After I got out it wasn't an issue at all. Until "Expelled". Then I got pissed. Now I rather enjoy telling people how fucked up their lives are when they cling to mythology as a refuge from reality.

Tell that to those who launche themselves at foes yelling 'allahadmiral ackbar !' or whose religions are openly militant, like Sikhs or the late and regretted Mitraists.
