    Broader experience will help you make more informed decisions about the world.

    Also when you say something like “I’ve never met an atheist who didn’t celebrate Christmas” you sound extremely, let’s say, provincial, and that may have adverse consequences for you in some social contexts.

      Idk, sounds like my views may be challenged and I may grow as a person. No way will I engage with that prospect! Consider the context in which I made my statement. Every loud atheist I’ve met (the type of person that crowbars it into as many conversations as possible regardless of the topic at hand) has also celebrated Christmas. In this case I’m referring to 3 specific people in my personal life. It being a holiday today made me think about that while I was literally in the shower before leaving to go see family. I’m not necessarily surprised at the responses I’m getting but I am entertained by the way people are reacting to a shower thought post. The elite big brains in this comment section are so cool, cultured and smart. Especially you.

          Troll. I didn’t set out for that with this post though. I usually keep trolling to the shitpost community. Have a good night sibling 💋
