Which one of you is Manny Garcia from SLUT?

‘Don’t get me wrong. If your religious beliefs comfort you and make you a better, more compassionate, caring human being, more power to you. But please, do me a favor and keep it to yourself. l just haven’t seen any Jesus-like figures walking around here.

And don’t call me an atheist because that assumes that theism is legitimate, which it isn’t.

The religious authorities rely on the ultimate cop-out to avoid addressing my concerns: To those who don’t believe, no explanation is possible; to those who believe, no explanation is necessary.’

Hum---that seems clear enough. People living in Salt Lake area, as it appears, can't help themselves from offering their stated opinions.

D&C 88:81 "Behold, I sent you out to testify and warn the people, and it becometh every man who hath been warned to warn his neighbor."

Yeah. Warn them about those crazy Mormons.

It means your can't easily pin him down!
That even atheism is (like a) religion
(Because it has beliefs)...

It means you don't get an easy pass.
It means you have to ask more questions.

See? It works!

That in labeling his philosophy, he doesn't like a god reference at all. For instance, I think of myself as being "not religious."

It means he is a lot like most ‘Nones’ who generally don’t identify as Atheists, due to the fact they don’t want to identify themselves in nonsensical terms they reject. Most of us prefer to identify ourselves in affirmative terms like, Humanist or Naturalist or Spiritual but not religious.
