[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I will say I think OP is kind of trolling but I was at a bar the other night and was talking to a guy casually and kind of jokingly told him to give me his elevator pitch of who he was as a person and he kicked it off with 'I am a God fearing Christian' or something like that and I have to admit it took effort to keep the surprise off my face.

Of course there's nothing wrong with that, but it seemed like a very intense way to talk to a girl at a bar who was wearing black lipstick haha. [/quote]

OP here.  Definitely not trolling – genuinely curious, especially when I realized that as a society, we have managed to try to be kind to people who are in the minority.  For example, the term "fag"  and the usually pejoratively expressed “homosexual”  changed over time to “gay” – a positive word. And Now there’s LGBTQ.

As a society, we’re moving away from unconsciously stigmatizing people who are not in the majority.  I’d like to see it happen with people who don’t believe in God, too.

I’d sure like to hear from some religious people who think it’s a good idea to avoid using religious speech in secular settings.

Stopping someone from saying Good bless you because you hate their religion is not the same as someone hatefully name calling a gay person. You actually have it backward. You are the one asking people to pretend to be something they aren't.[/quote]
