[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am the opposite - an undercover Christian. The environment I work in is almost all atheists and they make very clear their feelings and negatives attitudes about Christians, so I just stay quiet. Sometimes I feel very guilty about doing so but I have seen a couple other people 'come out' and it has been really ugly. So I just nod and smile. I just walk away from conversations where people are trashing Christianity or mocking a specific person because of their faith. Not very Christian of me to not stand up for them but I am not prepared to handle the consequences of speaking up. [/quote]

+1  This is me.

What do you think the consequences would be?

[/quote]

In certain circles that I run in (not all), an insufferable amount of condescension.

Like if you said you believed in ghosts?[/quote]

Worse, actually. The irony is, it appears to be perfectly fine to believe in ghosts, Wican lore, etc.  It's Christianity specifically that hits a nerve with people.[/quote]

Doesn't sound like the washington I know.  Perhaps you're trying to convert people and they don't like it? or you're a fundamentalist who talks about Jesus all the time.

PS -- God is a ghost.[/quote]

1) I specifically said some circles I run in, not all. This is most true with the higher-end, intellectual, serious money driven crowd which I understand you most likely may not be familiar with.

2) God is not a ghost, God is a spirit.

3) I am anything but a fundamentalist and I have never once tried to "convert" anyone, nor do I talk about Jesus all the time.[/quote]
