> Christian, husband, father, software developer. In that order.

Maybe this is a horrible thing to say but when I read something like that I just completely turn off. Religious fanatic sick? Their invisible space god can take care of them! I love how he put his stupid superstition not one, but two places ahead of being a father. That's really cute.

I donated to the Python programmer with ALS but I think I'll let Jesus help this guy.

In most churches the advice given to men and women in terms of prioritizing your life is: God, spouse, family, work. I realize that you think that his God isn't real but that really stops you from ever caring about someone? If your father had cancer and believed in God would you speak to him in this way? Why go through life being so harsh?

As an atheist, I find your comment severely distasteful. I wish I could downvote this many times more than just once.

If it said "Human striving to be a good person, husband, father, software developer. In that order." would that make any difference to you? Because that's what all the moderate christians I know see their faith as meaning first of all.

I think you may have mixed me up with someone else. I have never uttered those words in that order, in public or in private.
