““I remember when "atheist" was a scary word. I remember little suits, on little boys, with no lapels. I remember dining room table leaves. I remember a brief period of "bad breath" concern: the product of a health class at school. I remember that "most bad breath is caused by germs." I remember that germs are everywhere! I remember trying to visualize germs (physically) as they crawl around all over everything. I remember that my vision of germs pretty much resembled normal insects, only much smaller, of course. I remember sneezing into my hand, out in public, and then the problem of what to "do" with it.””
