When I wrote my book, God, No, you go out to try to pimp it, sell the goddamn thing.
I would speak to atheist groups, but more often, I would speak to really strong Christian groups, like in the South and stuff.
And it struck me...
is really interesting.
When I worked for atheists, they were really hostile and unpleasant to me.
You consider yourself a spokesperson for atheists, but you said this, this, and this.
And I would say, well, I've never said I was a spokesperson.
You know, all that stuff.
And Christians would just be so kind.
Oh, we love you coming and giving your point of view, and you're so honest.
And people will often say, and you didn't say this, and I don't want to create a false argument, but I think it's an interesting thing.
People often say to me, you know, how did you become atheist?
Did Christians treat you badly?
And I always say, I think the problem is Christians treated me too well.
Yeah.
I have a perfect relationship with my mother and father, both dead now, but a perfect relationship with them.
My sister, I had the most loving family you could have.
The church that I went to was wonderful, full of tremendous people.
The pastor that, when I was in youth group,
was a fabulous man.
