Learned a new term today:

Having been at my mom's for Mother's day, we all got caught up in a discussion about religion. My sister said a term I'd never heard used before, but it is so perfect to describe how I feel about religion and organized churches and their beliefs. She called herself a "militant agnostic." And explained it by saying, "I don't know, and you don't either." I loved it and will adopt it when someone asks me about my religious beliefs. I just thought it was a rather apt term, and wanted to share.

I love what militant agnostics say, and just for you.........

It's perfect! I only wish I'd thought of it myself a long time ago.

I think I could adopt that term to describe my outlook on religion,as well.

For many years I felt compelled to express my hostile feelings towards organized religion... nowdays, I generally just keep my mouth shut and accept my own quiet disdain. The t shirt is great. Would have probably worn it when I was younger.. but again Id never wear it now. If I wore it here, where I live... Id more than likely get shot on some rural road, and they would throw my body in the woods.
