I'm new to Think Atheist and wanted to start new discussion to get into the mix. So here goes... I'm a baseball fan and during this off-season I was thinking about my team and the irony of it in relation to my atheism. You see, I'm a LA Angels fan. I've never really thought of my Angels as literal Angels because they don't have an Angel mascot or anything, but still, that is their name and I found it kind of ironic. Does anyone else have anything they like that conflicts with their beliefs? Maybe a San Diego Padres fan :) or band, movie, book, etc

I'm in the U.S. Midwest and my vernacular is colored by religion. I've resigned myself to saying "bless you" to people who sneeze.
Welcome to T|A!
Permalink Reply by Bob on December 15, 2010 at 1:36am I've actually said "No thank you" to people who say "bless you". I've since stopped because I felt like a dick when I did it. I know there are no evil spirits evacuating my body though.

I tend to hum Christmas carols a lot during December. I could care less about the religious implications, I just enjoy the music.

The first comment on utube says enough. Glad you liked. My theist friends get confused when I do stuff like that. I just say Atheists have a stronger appreciation of "Art".
