It's nothing big. Certainly not worth yet another atheists vs. Christians dust-up. But I guess I've been pretty sheltered and lucky, living in the urban northeast for too long. I had forgotten that for some people, it doesn't matter how you live your life or if you put your hand out to newcomers or love your family or try to be compassionate or whatever... by nature of being an atheist you are a moral degenerate, just a fundamentally bad person. It's what people say when they're not really thinking about it. I don't know why I care. Maybe it's an ego thing, I can't stand the idea that someone out there thinks I/people like me are really bad. Not because of anything I do or say. Just because I am me.
Ha, you can tell I'm white and straight.
