People ask me if I'm an Atheist.

People ask me if I'm an Atheist. What? Am I an Atheist? Let me make sure I understand your question.

Are you asking me if I have dismissed—as you have dismissed—thousands of gods which used to be in good standing with our ancestors?

Is this what you are asking me?

Are you asking me if I've used my brain and thought about the mythology of all religions?

Are you asking me if I still cling to the Bronze Age and Iron Age mythologies which have the disgusting love-life with blood sacrifice?

Are you telling me that since you have dismissed all past religions and all current religions—except for your own—that this does not make you an atheist to all the religions you have rejected?

When will the religious understand that they are atheists to all other religions, current and past, (except for their own) with which they do not subscribe.

Are you asking me that for the same reasons you dismiss all other religions, is exactly why I dismiss yours?
