19. I got hated by a bunch of Pagans for telling them "Namaste".

I told them I was an atheist and sent their leader an email closing with Namaste, and they got mad. They really couldn't wrap their minds around an atheist, although they think they are quite non-conformist as pagans. Still wrapped up in the god-worshiper model.

Guess I should have told them they were transient illusory meatsacks instead???????
