Frustration
Is it just me or do the rest of you get so fed up by theists and other believers in irrational concepts stupidity (ie comments such as "It's only a theory)"
that you feel like grabbing them by the neck, shaking them and saying "NO You stupid motherfucker!" I'm just getting more and more frustrated by the lack of education and critical thinking in this country. Seems the average person doesn't have the scientific and critical thinking knowledge a Jr High student should have.

yeah, 95% of the christians in my school that I have talked to are convinced that no transitional fossils have ever been found.
Im pretty sure such an action would solve all your theistic problems >.>
if not... your not shaking them violently enough
What Would Kharn Do?
One of the threads by Lot2, Luminon got involved talking about light reflected from nearby buildings. You can see my frustration at such things clearly in that thread due to his willing ignorance, choosing specifically to take the illogical angle over a very simple and logical explanation that I could see for myself he had the education to understand and see for himself - he just chose not to.
What's worse is the post of his in which he explains how his family release books and do courses that teach other people to be willingly ignorant.
Organised religion is the ultimate form of blasphemy.

Not me, personally. Much of the time, I'd settle for a calm, cool, collected discussion. The trouble is, that if someone doesn't want to be challenged, they simply shout you down.

Generally I'm pretty calm, but theists can get my blood boiling. Though I've found that even when I keep it to a calm discussion, they get angry and start personal insults, which makes me do the same.
Still, you know what they say. Can't live with them, can't rebuild the Colosseum and throw them to lions.
Psalm 14:1 "the fool hath said in his heart there is a God"-From a 1763 misprinted edition of the bible
Argument from Sadism: Theist presents argument in a wall of text with no punctuation and wrong spelling. Atheist cannot read and is forced to concede.
I've a fair understanding of human behavior, and that helps insulate me against their irrational behaviors. I mean, yes the ubiquity of it frustrates me, but most of the time I can just gently shake my head at individuals being willfully ignorant.
In web forums and chat, however, I note I do sometimes get a little bit mean.
"Anyone can repress a woman, but you need 'dictated' scriptures to feel you're really right in repressing her. In the same way, homophobes thrive everywhere. But you must feel you've got scripture on your side to come up with the tedious 'Adam and Eve not Adam and Steve' style arguments instead of just recognising that some people are different." - Douglas Murray
Ummm , something is holding us down
Ahhh, the mega rich are doing it 
Eat them ..... show your teeth , get mean on them super rich ..... and what did jesus wisdom say ..... "Can't have heaven rich .... while another is not" .... 
so what is heaven ? ..... Where all is ONE .... as we deny , but we are ....... ask a modern scientist or three !

That was hilarious, Matt. I almost peed myself.

On a side note wouldn't you love to see Richard Dawkins or someone similar reply to an overused theist argument with "No you stupid motherfucker!" I can't see him doing that, but I can definitely see Penn Jilette doing so. Anyway, they'd use that as an excuse to say "See how evil these atheists are!" As Mr. Anderson on Beavis and Butthead once said "You can lead a jackass to water but you can make him drink."

I just watched this youtube video were RD was on Alan Colmes radio show on fox and some caller was saying that there were no transitional fossils and RD said that was "Bullshit." Alan Colmes then gets a little perturbed and says he's gonna get bleeped on the time delay so Dawkins says that it is nonsense instead. It was actually a pretty good interview full of creationists, jews, and a few RD fans, but it was Fox so I'll let you guess what the views of the majority of the callers were.
