Seriously people?

**Update** I just got slated in Propter Doc's comments (not by her but one of her commenters). Apparently I, as a Christian, should be standing up for my "brother". Firstly I get really pissy when people tell me what I should/shouldn't believe/do. Secondly I don't care if I share the same pigeon-hole title as someone else in the faith category it doesn't mean I have to agree with them being intolerant of other people's beliefs. I know that the bus adverts are really just there to piss of the Christian right but at the end of the day this is what athiests belive and I don't see why we shouldn't respect their right to have a belief different to ours. Thirdly I also think the Christian right are a pain in the ass and are hideously intolerant of everyone but their self-righteous selves (I realise this makes me intolerant of them before anyone points it out).

WTF! Between that and that crazy group that keep claiming to represent the whole Christian world with their archaic and small minded views I think I understand why atheists think we're all nuts.

I have had to fight for my right to have my own beliefs for as long as I remember. i used to have a postdoc who's mother had died when he was young. He seemed to blame the church and therefore me. Usually a couple of times a year he'd lay into me which the rest of the boys would join in on.

To clarify - I WILL NOT pretend that I don't go to church just to fit in but that's all I tell people. I don't bound up to people clutching a tambourine saying that I'm off to Church on Sunday and would they like to come but if someone asks what I'm doing/done at the weekend I won't gloss over my church attendance. I never discuss my faith unless asked. I have no proof apart from experiences which quite frankly are nobody's business but my own. I have no desire to convert anyone to Christianity and I have wonderful friends of other faiths (atheism incl.).

I didn't do the whole CU thing at uni (many were incredibly hypocritical and judgmental).

In short - aaaaaaaaaaaaargh!

Rant over - this guy's employers are trying to accomodate him and did not need to go to the press.
