I struggle every day, in a world that surrounds me with xstians not to become that “angry atheist” that causes their friends to leave the room or scares the children spouting off the facts they have never heard from their parents.  It is such a seriously hard line to walk.  I love all my friends and I don’t want to loose any of them.  I just hope every time I wade into the realm of debate with them that I...

   Some might think this post is offensive.
