From Minister To Atheist: A Story Of Losing Faith

[treemom]

not just the south. this would happen in most churches. it's love they neighbor unless he is not like you.

Which is always amusing to me because when Jesus talked about who the neighbor was told the parable of The Good Samaritan

I think she could have handled it differently....but I also think she doesn't know a lot of people who don't have faith so her initial reaction is sort of the angry atheist one.

I listened to this yesterday and I actually had compassion for everyone involved. But I also grimaced when she called people of faith sheep. Yes, at times people are sheep, all of us. But I know lots of people with faith who are smart, intelligent and not following the whims of others.

It takes time to come to terms with your lack of faith and still respect people who have it. She isn't there yet.
