I am sick and tired of all the theists who like to whine and complain about how persecuted they are. Some even go so far as to state that discrimination is only ok against them, while all other groups, supposedly, get away with the world. Really? Is that so? Theists, as a united group comprising of all the world's faiths, nearly completely dominate the planet. We are the minority, not them. They have millions of places of worship, not us. They have holidays recognized by governments around the world, not us. They hold the lion's share of control over the media, not us. And many of them are violently against our very existence. Admitting you're an Atheist in a theistically dominated culture amounts to a virtual suicide. It can, quite literally, get you killed. Much less, it can get you fired, evicted or divorced, amongst other unsavory things. We have been so completely demonized in their holy texts that the mere word offends. And they're the persecuted ones! Right!
So, in light of the persistent misconception, I propose a challenge to any and all willing theists. I call it The 7 Day Atheist Challenge. The rules are simple. You pretend to be an Atheist for the period of seven days. During this time you must tell as many people as you possibly can. Tell your mother, your father, your grandma, your grandpa, your boss, your co-workers, your significant other, your friends, random people on the street -- everyone that you can get a hold of. No slipping up, either. There will be no letting anyone in on the secret. Only you will know the truth. Then, after this period of time is over, you come back and tell me how it went. You tell me about the depth of the persecution you felt. You tell me how the people who you thought were your friends turned on you. Tell me your stories of discrimination and then you will see just how good you have it.
