Ok, coming out story time. This time I’m talking about coming out about you non-belief. As a non-believer (if you are) when did you come out to those around you? Or have you not even done that yet?

I don’t see the point of it either. I get why PZ was so against it though, because of the idiots who already try and act like atheism is a religion

  So when I got the email notification of this comment, my first thought was, “my profile pic is an adorable kitten. How could it possibly have 6 fingers?” Then I remembered that I posted this quote. #geekfail
