Normal Heights Welcomes Nation’s First Agnostic Church

This article is quite pivotal in showing one of the problems with agnosticism, that is, the negative energy that some give off when it comes to being disrespectful to Christianity. By acting this way, people are a lot more apt to pushing the buttons of the people around them due to their less than respectful nature. The article also explains just what the church is doing and the facts surrounding it quite well, thus giving a better picture of what exactly is going on. There is a photo in the article as well that is a great example of the disrespect of this church, as it shows a bible with the MadLibs logo on it, implying that it's fictional. All in all, this is a great article to help identify the point that there are many who are less than understanding to others who are religious.

This article that I read really interested me, as it dealt directly with the issue that I'm dealing on, namely how to keep from being "hated on" as an agnostic. I think the author makes a lot of good points of how there are quite a few people who could be considered negative examples of agnostics in our current society. The author then goes on to talk about how we may be able to work on this, such as educating or just simply shutting up when it comes to speaking on the idea of religion. The author speaks directly as well abpout his reception by others on the fact of his religious ideologies, which there are not many authors who delve directly into that territory.
