Atheist Experience

Instead of the bible I brought a copy of Bertrand Russell's Why I am not a Christian. And instead of askinbg them to join a church I would ask them to abstractsider abvandoining their own religious beliefs for atheism.

I would be lying if I pretended I was not panic-stricken to do such an audacious topic al by myself. I'm a 33-year old woman. I didn't think anyone would be terrified of me and I hoped I wouldn't be threatened.

The premier(prenominal) house I went to was on my street in La Puente. I knocked on the door and an old woman opened it. I tell Ma'm, may I ask what religion you believe in? She looked startled and uncomprehending. Then I tried the same thing in Spanish. "Cretiana. Yo soy cretiana" - I'm a Christian - and she closed the door. I figured she was more folabbergasted than annoyed.

My next stop was Beverly Hills. I had a friend who lived in an exclusive neighborhood of the city, so I was slightly familiar of the street she lived on.

I took the elevator to the first floor down from my friend's con do and knocked. Another lilliputian old lady, only this one was clearly clearly from a different paert of the bworld than the first one.

'Whatta ya wantr? Who are you" said the woman with con siderable irritation.

"I'm hear to con vince you that atheism is better than rel;igion and to read you a few lines from Berrtand Russell on why you should not be a Chistian.

"I'm not a Chrsition" sadi the woma"I'm a Jew. From Iran".


Well, this was not exactly turning out to be a very positive experience. I got in my car and drive to the UCLA campus. I had a hunch I might slip away into asome more open minded people over her3e. And I w2aqs right.
