Don't assume that agnostics and atheists are any better than a religious person. They are not. The only difference is the belief. Other than that, you're going to get azzholes, jerks, instigators, angry people, judgmental people, people with a chip on their shoulder, etc., just like you would anywhere else.

Don't take it personally. I just had it happen to me...and then the whole post disappeared, so I think the person blocked me.

I personally like honesty, whether it's PC or not. If a person is telling how they feel as opposed to bloviating about how things should be, they shouldn't be made to feel bad because of it. They feel how they feel. Nobody else has the right to judge them.

And nobody has the right to insult them, either.

Don't give up hope Beth. I have a very open mind and don't mind engaging in some stimulating conversation.

Hi Beth. All I can really say in response to that is: fuck 'em. Be who you are, and be the best at being you. Most of us on this site will respect you for that.

(PS: I just followed you. Feel free to message me any time you want a chat )

You truly need to not take anything someone says online--no matter the site--seriously, especially if it hurts you. Keep looking.
