The Rational Response Squad is a group of atheist activists who impact society by changing the way we view god belief. This site is a haven for those who are pushing back against the norm, and a place for believers of gods to have their beliefs exposed as false should they want to try their hand at confronting us.

As was expected

Submitted by netsui on May 4, 2007 - 9:35pm.

My reading, on Thursday, of a missive concerning my dis-belief was met with the reactions I had expected. There were a few people who were a bit shocked, some people who were more on the apathetic side of things and those who were happy that I said what I said. This being Western Washington (it really does make a difference) no one was particularly offended. All in all, it was great!
Most of all, it was interesting to see the eye-brows raise and a few whispers tip-toe around. I was a tad nervous when starting off, but everything set in nicely and it felt good to throw myself and what I think out into the open. I have not been directly confronted by anyone yet; somewhat disappointing, but I suppose the lack of confrontation could be interpreted as a good sign.

Cheers!

Another reason for the seeming lack of interest might be that no one wants to get caught talking to you. lol.

Remember, just because you have gotten over your fears of ostracization doesn't mean that others have.

Were you able to give a way for anyone to talk privately to you about it?

I hadn't considered that. There are already two or so people in the class that are fairly open about their dis-belief. But, It did seem that some people were trying to avoid me. I didn't really provide a way for people to contact me in private; I will think of a way to do that. Perhaps make a bulletin with my personal contact information. Another way I could put myself out there is provide my contact info via the school news show. Since I do the op-ed segment, that wouldn't take much.

Thanks for the idea.

No problem. Please just be

No problem.

Please just be careful. One way to get a hold of you is enough. Too many gets a stalker.

Our very existence threatens their delusion.

Just because I'm paranoid doesn't mean they're not out to get you. lol.
