Tired.
I'm tired of explaining what an Atheist is. For some reason people around me seem to think that an Atheist is someone who doesn't believe in anything. Which is not true. They are content believing what others tell them that they see no need in educating themselves to find out the definition is. I've has some people tell me that an Atheist is someone who believes that there is only god. This also is not true. That would be a Theist. A Theist is a Christian or a member of another religion that believes there is only one god who created everything. An Atheist is a person who does not believe in a supreme being or beings. That is what an Atheist is. We don't worship the devil or a god. We don't believe in a life after death. We don't believe because there is no evidence to prove that such a being is real. However, there is evidence of evolution. So, when I see someone who has claimed to be an Atheist say or write something about heaven or hell I will ask and make sure that they are aware of what an Atheist truly is. This is not an attack on anyone. I have educated myself in what an Atheist is. If a person claims to be an Atheist who speaks of an after life, then I will do my best to make sure that they are aware of what the title means. Nothing more.
