Reply #52: Why do you have to "talk about what you don't believe"?

[Canuckistanian]

If I lived in America, I'd be going to those meetings. NOT to discuss the existence or non-existence of God, but simply to get away from from the fundie Christians that would surround me.

It would be a safe haven, where I KNOW prayer won't break out or some sky being gets praised or someone ends up trying to "save" me.

Look, we're ENVELOPED by God people, we hear their tired messages all the time, everywhere we go.

Is it a crime just to have some respite from it?
