This is part of the problem. We're supposed to believe in freedom of choice in this country, but there's this idea going around that you don't have any rights unless your minority status is inborn. A lot gay rights activists hate bisexuals because it undermines their case that sexuality is 100% inborn and just like race. Why does it have to be just like race?

I'm a fvcking furry. Oh noes, sexy cartoons. When I want people to stop spreading lies, calling for our extermination, et cetera, I'm told "shut up, you're not oppressed, you're not a real minority, so you have no right to complain when we attack you." If I didn't have the right to complain, react or fight back, if I really had to sit there and take it, wouldn't that mean I was oppressed? I'm not, of course, though they are trying their hardest to make it so, so I will stand up for my right to say, do, and believe what I please just like everyone else.

Aside from that, is atheism really something you could choose to change if you wanted to? You don't have to born with something to be stuck with it.
