But it's the way those supposed Christians act that made me realize there can't possibly be a God. Subject to any god or gods showing up to correct me on that one, I'll continue to be an atheist. And I owe it all to right wing Christians who made me ask myself, how can I trust such people to tell me the truth about anything, or to know the truth themselves?'
