I can understand your belief in characteristics of a God Believer with a Fundamentalist Pentecostal as the backdrop for the statement.
It amazes me that people still call themselves one "type" of religion or the other. I can't think of any religion (or non-religion) that hasn't been bashed with one type of negative stereotype or another. I do feel that the world is full of many people that believe those stereotypes too quickly. For example, using the beginning of this thread concerned with dead babies and your claim to the label "Atheism" . There are people in this world that would call you a baby killer only based on their own personal life experiences and the word Atheist. I’m sure there are many other characteristics that people apply to “atheist” but they don’t apply to you specifically. Is one of the tenets of atheism to treat people kindly? , And wouldn’t kindness include not assuming a person contains all the negative qualities of a given group they participate in? This is all just food for thought.
Irregardless… Ugliness is only an opinion that changes from person to person; it’s not possible to NOT have pleasure while having sex, and masturbation is probably performed by more fundamentalist’s than not.
