I’m not buying anything.

I’m not thankful to G-d.

am I going to hell?

Yes, but you’ll have pretty much the entire human race for company.

I suffered through an unexpected bunch of god-bothering and preachy stuff at the girlfriend’s family Thanksgiving today… Really hard to be polite and keep a bitten tongue while watching her teenage son be indoctrinated by babbling, glassy-eyed relatives. It’s hopeless, really - one atheist has no chance against 35+ years of Church of Christ “education”. Other than that, everything was great.

I’m getting a little tired of spirits being dragged into everything, including Thanksgiving. It’s like the “freeloader” meme that’s taken off in the last half-year or so; all of a sudden I’m tripping over the G-word everywhere I go. Some of us are happy without religion and really just want to be left alone.

Anyway I did get to do a little educating, talking about this artice at Slate about Leptospirosis and the Pilgrims; I did like being able to talk about how European/Native interactions were a bit more complicated than the history books usually describe them. Mm, rat pee on Thanksgiving! I’m such a nerd…
