My coming out story
This is the story of the first time I told someone I was an atheist. When I was a proselytizing evangelical christian, I ran across atheists from time to time. this was my first time being on the other side of that fence. I hope I wasn't as much of a self righteous ass as the guy who approached me. If anyone out there in internet-land recognizes me for that from my proselytizing days, my sincerest apologies.

Good for you! I wish more people who have been/are involved in religious activities were so open-minded and had the strength to cut ties (with people who are only really their friends because of shared religion)! Great point about the "pitying look"- that's unbelievably arrogant but sadly all too typical. Also, the "tip bribe" thing- would this guy have been so "generous" if he wasn't trying to impress you/his deity? What matters is not how much he gave but the intention behind it. When it's God, well, I'm inclined to see such acts precisely as bribery rather than heart-felt gestures. GR
