A Lone Thought

My friends are more than smart enough to even think of bringing up the topic of religion with me. They know, it will spell a lecture. Even when I try not to lecture, when you just know so much on whatever they're talking about how can you not!

Today I was talking with Susie and her friend about the TV show The Farmer Wants a Wife and how silly and ridiculous it was. We were having some good laughs, and eventually came a time where the topic was over, no-one was saying anything, just waiting for another to pick whatever we were to discuss next. The friend then said to me, "don't you start talking about your crazy theological crap." I was taken a bit back by this. Completely random and out of nowhere! I replied "...why would I? I know you guys don't-" Susie groaned and looked the other way at this point "-wanna hear about it so why on earth would I talk about it. If I did I would probably seem like an evil atheist trying to convert everyone!" They then both replied "Good!" Then we started talking about the TV show House. Best. Show. Ever. Ironically it backed up some of the notions I made in a post yesterday - they think I'm trying to take over the world!

On the trainride home we were talking about something and then our friend Rachael said "can't be worse than your religion talks". Again - random! Where was this coming from?! Then interestingly Mary said to me "oh yeah I remember - I've decided you're not an atheist-" Oh? "-you're a scientific humanist." I then replied I'm actually a secular humanist, and if I had time would've explained I'm actually a secular humanist agnostic atheist; being a any sort of humanist doesn't prevent you from being an atheist - in many it might encourage it, and that she doesn't get to decide what I label myself, what my thoughts feelings and values are. She wasn't buying I was a secular humanist though - she had made up her mind - I was scientific.

Then when I tried to say no...I'm secular she then said "it doesn't matter all humanists are the same" What! She was walking down the carriage to go down the stairs at this point. My friends could see it was about to get ugly. They started putting their hands up to make me stop, speaking loudly over my voice, they just didn't wanna hear me go. "We don't wanna hear another religion lecture!" They cried. "It's not a religion it's a philosophy!" I interjected. They didn't care. Regardless, I wasn't gonna be accused of something, have someone grossly misrepresent something else and let it go. I started yelling down the carriage "what are you talking about?!" Unfortunately she was out of earshot and my friends were yelling way too loud for me to ask "what do you call christian humanism then?"

Where does this shit come from? I find it interesting my friends are thinking about my religious opinions, and even more interesting why they might be thinking about them? An ironic series of events today; I wonder if some other things I write in my blog manifest in real life too.
