When I finally decided Gawd was a fable I flipped off the sky. Anyone else?
I was too young to know what the bird meant.
I have been an atheist since kindergarten. I never believed in an invisible deity that resides somewhere beyond the clouds. Scoffed at ridiculous Bible stories.
Every Christian who tried to convert me failed spectacularly. Over the years, I've kept smart-aleck retorts in my back pocket. My favorite:
"As an atheist, I chose rational thinking, not magical beliefs."
I flip off spy satellites surveillance cameras and police helicopters, not the sky, that would be silly.
