I guess it could be seen that way. There are an awful lot of inspirational non-religious pictures involving Carl Sagan and Neil DeGrass Tyson that are wonderful to look at and read that don't bring anyone down necessarily. The people I am referring to though *would* be offended by something that says that the universe is beautiful enough in itself you don't need to insert god to enjoy it.. OR they would insert god into it in their comment to me. There are also an awful lot of anti-gay and anti-abortion pics out there that have been posted and shared and are so offensive and definitely put others down. I am just easily riled up I guess. I got so tired of seeing all the god stuff on my feed that I de-friended half of my "friends"* about 6 months ago.
*mostly old acquaintances I knew from church as a child and teen
About the bisexual thing I am mostly worried about the flak I will get from my dad and his wife. 1) it is none of their business who I find sexually attractive, and 2) I honestly do care what he thinks about me, and I am really tired of him thinking I am going to snap out of my atheism, I don't want to give him more ammo to judge me with. Most of the people who I want to know about my sexuality already know because I have told them.
wow.. I just unloaded a lot on you.. sorry. I *really* don't want to offend people and put down religious people.. I know a lot of it is built on community and traditions. Most people are not pious or severe in their study, most people are casual and want a connection and something to build friendships around. I don't think I am better than religious people or smarter or cleverer. Most of my aggression is toward my dad and his wife because those are the "loudest" people I hear and I can't stop following them because that would be rude and I don't want them to stop following me.
