Your kids just happen to be playing with mine. You conversationally say, "what church do you go to?" I honestly reply, "None. It's not my thing." Astonished you say, "Are you an atheist?" I look you in the eye and calmly reply, "Yes." Just because I say I'm an atheist, it does not mean you get to immediately launch into your dogma diatribe. I didn't ask for this discussion. And I didn't appreciate the veiled threat that you look forward to talking to me next time and will bring your Bible.
Yeah, I got THAT annoyed today. Annoyed enough to make a CafePress shirt of this for the next person who thinks it's acceptable to proselytize a stranger just trying to have a nice day at the lake with her kids.
