Adrian, you know I really would be interested in hearing why you reject every religion. How many do you know about for instance? Is it the same reasons for each on, and if so what? I do actually like to hear people’s stories.

Not going to ask about you hotness or otherwise though Justin. Sorry, that’s just too homoerotic for comfort. You tempter you.

People seem much happier making pronouncements about what they assume about me than asking actual questions, and this includes the ones that seem to end in a question mark (like the standard “where do your morals come from?”).

Same thing goes with vegetarianism, though perhaps to a lesser extent – I get more comments/statements than questions, and even then, the questions are usually disguised statements.

Why is it easier to be gay than atheist in the black community? I’d love to explore that question with a lot of theistic black folks, but most just say they will pray for me. How annoying…

Where do you get your suits, they look so nice on you. I wish they would ask me that.

“Want to go out and have a pint?”

I’m still waiting on that one.

@Justin: LOL. More people really should ask why we’re so damned hot!

Anyone who asks me where I get my morals from will have me stating I don’t eat flesh because I don’t consider myself a graveyard. That usually shuts them up, but if not I have a whole lot more where that came from.

I would also like to be asked how I keep my morality while not believing in gods.

Plus, “Why are all atheists so damned hot?” is another excellent but rarely touched upon subject.

Since I am newly de-converted and haven’t shared with many people I haven’t been asked many questions at all.

That said, what I’d like them to ask is, “What sorts of things do you value in life?”.

I think that question would really start things off in a much more positive way than I tend to see them going on in the blogosphere.

I would like to be asked why I am still moral when I don’t believe in God.
