(45,851 posts)I'm not a a teetotaler but it's been over half my life since I've been drunk, I drink seldom and never more than maybe a couple of cold beers on a hot day.
One thing I find as someone who largely avoids alcohol is I don't like being around other people who are drinking to any extent, tipsy and drunk people don't usually mean to be obnoxious but they often are anyway because their inhibitions are loosened and their judgement is impaired.
The religious may not even intend to be obnoxious to atheists, much of the time it's simple ignorance of any other point of view than their own. Do you seriously believe that I don't know by now which of my thoughts offend and upset religious people if I should be so indiscreet as to tell them?
My own personal just-for-fun theology I've worked out is simple, far more logical than most theology and remarkably insulting to theists.
I've never told anyone in real life what it is and only twice on the internet.
