I think atheists are, generally speaking, a bunch of obnoxious, know-it-all, elitist, emotionally stunted assholes.

But he makes his point SO well - it's irresistible.

For me? Atheists confound me. To me, to completely disregard all the mysteries beyond what you can sense with your eyes and ears is pretty - hm - sad? I've envied yzzy her insight (and to be honest, unclejimbo has a good portion of it as well), but I do twig on occasion to something 'not here,' mostly in graveyards and if it hadn't happened to me, I'd not likely believe it at all.

But there you go. No, I didn't go looking for it either.

Christian, largely because that's how I was raised - and stay that way not by exclusion of other beliefs, but including them along with my own because they hold value in and of themselves as well. Hardly limited to the fundamentals.

He's pretty pointed, to be honest - but I just sat there and laughed so hard this morning, I couldn't resist.

alas it is late or I am sure I would have many things to say. But, if your interested in debate, I am an athiest. And yes I did find his post very narrow minded and filled with at the very least distrust if not hatered for people based on thier religious views.....hmmmm and I thought we got rid of all the Nazi's and racism and prejudgeing of people sometime between the 30 and the year 2000.

Ah well....I guess I was wrong. Which is so sad....so so sad.

I think it's more amusing how simply easy it was to put a number of people into boxes as easily as they put people of other beliefs into ones of their own devising.

I've known people I could have put into so many of these categories - and that's also the thing about parody/humor. It can play both sides of the issue - and frankly, I'm glad someone stood up and said that you don't avoid being pigeon-holed just because you claim to be atheist. If you're a twit - you're a twit, regardless.
