I have a friend who is an atheist. He compares it to how I feel about any resources from my tax money going to abortion. Not sure I agree with the equivalency of the resources involved but I can see his point. If that is his only issue with my stance I would like to ask to stop all displays of Nativity Scenes in trade for not funding any abortions. Anyway, I thought his argument was fairly reasoned.
I still ddon't understand why they care. It seems some are just purely to try and rub Christians nose in the fact they don't believe and think you are stupid for doing so. I view it like a lot of things. I don't care f you are gay or straight, married or just living with someone, Dem or Rep. As long as it doesn't affect me I simply don't give a shit.
