68. I mentioned that there would be ancectodal arguments.

I am sorry that someone told you that you were stupid. Personally, I have never told a religious person that I thought they were stupid, even though I have talked to some very stupid people who were also very religious. In all fairness, I know some dumb-assed atheists too.

Again, it is not an issue of my group is better than your group, if you followed my argument I tried to make the point that atheists are not a "group" at all, or is it a belief system. If you want to argue that, please refute me with something tangible. My point was that one of the two groups that we are discussing pushes their point more then the other; thus pointing out the number of people who's full time job was spreading the gospel in one of the smaller religious sects. If you want to argue that, please back your arguments with numbers. Find me a group of 67,000 atheists who are spreading their "gospel."

I am not saying, and did not say that there are not atheists who are not assholes, I am just talking stats. Pleas, tell me that last time that a couple of folks rang your doorbell and disturbed your dinner to talk to you about nothing.

As far as I am concerned, I am all about being left alone too. A good start would be removing tax breaks for religions and religious symbolism from my government organizations. Don't make my taxes pay to put your Christian symbolism on my light polls every December. Just a thought...

I will, speaking for myself only, will give you some satisfaction. Yes, I freely admit it, I do feel somewhat superior to religious people. I hope that that helps.
