I'm sure if I'd known I'd would now be a pile of ash or something, but darn, that flaming sword missed me this time. Maybe next time better luck.

Over people being atheist?

Geeze, if wishes were horses we'd all be trampled to death.

I was masticating my gnocchi when I felt a chill down my gnostic spine.

Must have been the agnostics praying.
Remember that early in Christian history there was a (so called) heresy among the churches.
Ultimately the 'Gnostic' teaching was defeated by orthodox opposition.
Thus the surviving dominate Christian tradition is officially opposed to "gnosticism' and thus is truly 'agnostic'.

That god came down and smote all of those "believers" who were using her name to usurp her power for evil purposes.

Then I realized it was just one of my cats standing on my chest looking for nom-nom's.


I'm still here and my cat s are happy.

Out of a family of about 25, I'm the only atheist. Our family gatherings (the bubble of ignorance), can be 'interesting'.

But I thought it was because I had been cleaning the house, including carrying the vacuum cleaner up and down the stairs.

I am nearly 78, after all.

But I am still present and accounted for, although I am more agnostic than atheist.

which is exactly how well I found prayer worked when I was a little kid my elders were trying to bully into being a Catholic.

That didn't work, either.
