Write a word that gives you negative feelings and give an explanation why.
“Atheism”
I think of the Carl Sagan quote: "Atheism is very, very stupid." Carl Sagan himself was an agnostic. He was so scientific and rational he knew that blind faith is just as foolish and illogical as blind disbelief. Personally, I believe in God - but I acknowledge that I don't KNOW God exists. I acknowledge the logical impossibility for me to know God exists just as the logical impossibility for anyone to claim they "know" God doesn't exist. Humility - especially intellectual humility - matters. Which is why I have righteously negative feelings when I hear the word "atheism." To me, it signifies just as much ignorance and arrogance as signifies fundamentalism.
