This is just one of my many “OUT-ing” in my college;

So, its November 2007 & my first semester in college. I had eyes on me for over a week after this incident. What is he playing at? Is he out of his mind? How can he talk to teachers like that? Ruben Babu, the atheist–someone who doesn’t believe in God. An anticleric. A disrespecter of religion. A mocker of Christianity, became popular by a matter of minutes.

An Atheist, being stared at like something vile. Someone like, oh, Diderot (“Man will never be free until the last king is strangled with the entrails of the last priest“). Or Voltaire (“The truths of religion are never so well understood as by those who have lost the power of reasoning“). Or Bertrand Russell (“The Christian religion, as organized in its churches, has been and still is the principal enemy of moral progress in the world“)….

Unfortunately, I’m no Bertrand Russell…. For one thing, Russell was an energetic anti-religious propagandist, while I have a low opinion of God and my fans are confined to my blog entries. With that day, I achieved what I wanted. The after effects of the day are still something I’d have to wait for.

As I walk into a room full of people, I want everyone to know that my mind is not in sync with their belief system. Once you come OUT, you’ll feel liberated, and your example will encourage others to COME OUT too. I’m not like your average blogger, who blogs his fantasies and lives a totally different life. I write what I did and what I will do. I put my words into motion in real life because the last few years taught me that Action is indeed louder that words.
