Wow

I had to quickly escape breakfast area, my tablemates started ranting about how THOSE PEOPLE trying to take "In God we trust" off of money is one of the things what "makes kids shoot each other." This then degraded into lamenting on how sad it is for people who don't believe in god, because it must be impossible to be happy or at peace.

This is me, walking away and not sticking my foot in it.

Maybe a little infected by the principle.

Where is the line between standing up for one's beliefs or forcing one's beliefs on others? Am I being dishonest by keeping my mouth shut, or am I just doing what I think is best for the little society I'm currently part of? As a very happy, nonbelievingingod, apostate SDA, do I have a responsibility to make this known, so that they know we're not all depressed, evil heathens?

Or will it just cause misplaced pity for me, and cause a group effort to convert me. Is it wrong to choose the path of least resistance if it makes everyone happy?

This is my church, my day of worship. My god is snow, my devotion is exercise. This is the day that snow has made, I will rejoice and be glad in it.
