Discovered this week the main benefit of atheism

Other than being called a "dirty atheist" or something equally absurd (and rather funny), there's simply not much to offend me about my faith (or lack thereof). You can't offend me by creating disdainful cartoons of nothingness. If you step on my religious text your foot goes right to the floor. Nun, rabbi, priest, Mormon missionary jokes are equally as funny.

To tell you the truth, I'm not offended by offhand or offensive comments about any religion really even though my relatives are and were all religious people of varying faiths and I have true and trusted friends of all religions. Something is in my atheist makeup that pretty much believes that when you embrace a faith with all its good parts you also carry the baggage of all its potential for bad so you've opened yourself up for whatever derision might come your way. I'm not going to do that but I'm also not going to have real sympathy towards the target. Naturally, nobody deserves violence against them but if someone wants to poke fun at someone's choice for a sky fairy, they certainly have the right to do so. Not that the person's going to win any popularity contests and the fact will still remain that if they enjoy knowingly hurting people over their faith, they're probably an asshole to begin with.

Anyway, it's a good day not to be a Christian, a Muslim, or a Jew. I welcome any good atheist slurs by the way. I'm certain the creativity of this group will come up with some zingers.
