Coming Out

There's a lot of questions, comments, and philosophy about how to let everyone know you're smart, well connected with reality, and not gonna say grace this year.

When you're at dinner, and Uncle Kiddietoucher starts to pray, instead of cringing as his spittle moistens the overcooked turkey, try any of the following:

* Jump up, smack someone sitting beside you, and yell "Fuck You, God-Lover, I is for REAL!" and once they all look at you, try expanding your thesis: "Seriously, I'm all about reality, and that reality doesn't include any god, gods, or goddesses. Instead of attempting to poison my ability to rationally and objectively view the world, how 'bout you shut your shit spewer and join in, with me, living in the here and now?"

* Join with others, don't sit back, come out as a non-theist (whichever terminology you enjoy), and show your solidarity.
