Heheh. I wouldn't ordinarily think it was a big deal myself but the fact that it was a story point gives it a significance I can't gloss over like I usually would.
(If I seem irritated, it's probably because of some of the periphery discussion about atheism. Due to past arguments and discussions, both online and offline, I get easily hurt and frustrated so I have to think twice as hard about my words.)
I feel you on that. I actually had a bit of trouble coming into the atheism argument without being defensive and I'm on the culturally dominant side of that debate. For what it's worth you seem pretty chill thus far to me. :)
