That must be nice.

Today was some sort of BDSM festival celebration. There's a couple every year, the biggest is the Folsom Street Fair and I guess today's is related to that?

Anyways, lots of beared, burly, pierced dudes in leather chaps and short shorts on the train today. A small group of people were protesting it, handing out flyers and saying "Jesus loves you!" and some guy was like "**** YOU I'M AN ATHEIST *******!"

Made me think of this thread.

So no hot chicks in leather bustiers? :(

A couple here and there but mostly dudes. I wasn't there for the actual parade part I just caught the aftermath on my way home from work. The Folsom Street Fair is usually pretty evenly queer and straight couples so there were probably more women, just not that I saw.

My part of the world isn't particularly religious, but the leading church here is protestant.

Reminds me of a Douglas Adams quote:

Isn't it enough to see that a garden is beautiful without having to believe that there are fairies at the bottom of it too?

This thread's been a fun read.

Not many religious people where I live. And my atheist colleagues proudly proclaim their position.

Damn you. I'd kill to not have to assume that half the people you meet don't believe in evolution. Specifically I'd kill that.

i tell people i'm atheist if they bring it up then we might get into it a little bit but ultimately i take the position that i think the stories are fake but i don't know at the end of the day and i don't really care if they want to believe in it. it really hasn't been an issue for me so far and i live in the middle of the bible belt. i do meet people who believe what i consider to be dumb **** but it really doesn't bother me that much, i just find it a bit strange.
