I always enjoy Ron Reagan's commercials. I am not a lifelong atheist, though I started my road to atheism in second grade when we had a visiting pastor who talked about lying and said we learn to lie at an early age. He told a story
about his infant son who continued to cry despite being fed, burped, and with clean diapers. This, he said, was lying. He had his needs met and continued to cry. So he spanked him. I stood up in church and shouted, "That's not right" and walked right out of church
I have since gotten up and walked out of church three more times. When the pastor said everyone needed to vote for W because Gore supported infanticide. When the pastor said the US must support Israel driving the Palestinians out of Israel so the Rapture would come
He said Israelites broke their Covenant because they did not kill all the inhabitants of Canaan. I was out the door.
The last time was at a Church of Christ church when the pastor talked about Aaron's staff - he held a stick in his hand. He threw it on the ground and picked up a snake. I was out the door faster than I knew I was capable of moving
Oh, I forgot another time. IT was at a Bible Baptist Church. I left because I had burned my hand before church & could not stand the pain. Later in the evening, the pastor saw me at 7/11 where I as getting gas and cornered me, shouting Demon, I cast thee out, Repent!
He thought I rushed out because demons made me leave. It was beyond crazy.
