5. I'm not persecuted.

But a lot of atheists in this country are, and do not have the privileges I do. White, male, upper-middle class, living in Seattle of all places, and I'm a bit of an asshole that will defend himself every time, and damn the consequences, even if it means alienation from friends and family, because fuck it, principle is more reliable and interesting to me than family.

No. I'm not persecuted. People tend to leave me the fuck alone, like people don't go around slapping porcupines, or kicking wolverines.

Part of what makes me such a to-the-bone-asshole is how I see most of the country treating other atheists that are not me.

I see you fuckers. I see your fuckery, and I am not amused.
