I have a co-worker who is a McCain and Bush supporter and who is a Republican atheist (yes, they exist!)
I just had the friendliest exchange with her over on Facebook.
And THAT is what gives me hope for this country. :)
I actually work with two atheists....I've never even known one personally, let alone two at the same work place! LOL. Then there's Tracy who isn't an atheist but has major issues with religion because she was raised Catholic and adopted into a very screwy home (and that's all I know...that's one thing she won't get into). She tends to say stuff like "I already did my time in Jesus jail." Or, like she said about Ted Dekker's work: "I like the atmosphere he sets up but then it gets so...Jesus-y, and I already did my Roman Catholic time behind bars."
It's sad when people see faith as jail and not as the freedom that it truly is.
But praise God for allowing me to be a witness through my actions and not necessarily my words. And thank you Lord for giving me these people to pray for and helping me to hopefully show them that not all Christians are whack jobs, lol
