I honestly have no clue how it all started. Apparently some kid next to me started preaching at some agnostic girl about how she would burn in hell for not believing in god. This atheist girl in front of me that I was sort of hitting on turned around and started questioning him. I got a whiff of the action and dove right in. Within minutes the two small groups pretty much banded up an army -- the atheist girl and I started saying "who else here is an atheist?" and maybe 9 or 10 others got up and staggered over. The preacher kid stood up and yelled "who else here is christian?" and maybe half the class walked to this one table. The kid was cussing up a storm, and we called him out. The teacher, who I presume was atheist stood up and said "If you're religious enough to the point where you are terrified of going to hell, why is it that your language is so colorful?" It got really intense. The teacher was loving every moment of it. It lasted a good 2 hours (that was the cool thing - we were in Saturday school. lots of kids--maybe 450-- had to make up tardies by attending.) Over all, the room got really loud and heated. I guess the atheists "won," but everybody had a great time nevertheless -- atheists and christians alike. It was fucking awesome.

I felt like a kid in a candy store. r/atheism gave me the bullets, I sprayed them out. Good points left and right, from both sides too.
