A friend of mine posted on another page an OP asking how we atheists actually see and deal with people who believe...
Then I check out the posts, and it pisses. me. off.

I have something to say...

The OP appeared on my morning feed, and I said, yeah...nice reasonable question...perhaps I'll wade in with a comment about how even though I like folks like CeCe (one of the nicer but still theistically impaired folk) , I just don't really get how bright, thoughtful people can cling to superstition...

Then I see where the thread is NOW...

I used to tell a joke that in any conversation with theists, when things started going south for them, they would completely derail the conversation with the UTTERLY irrelevant screech "EVOLUTION IS WRONG!". It doesn't matter that they can't point out a single example of objective morality, or point to a single documented supernatural occurrence, or explain the discrepancies and historical inaccuracies of the bible... all they need do is squeal "EVOLUTION IS WRONG!" and the dumb ass EMBARRASSMENTS to the cause of rationality will allow themselves to be led by the nose down the rabbit hole...

Evolution is an absolute, 100%, observed FACT of nature.
Darwin's Theory is the best explanation of that FACT, to the degree of being a 7 sigma certainty... more certain that any of the current theories of gravitation. The 155 year old theory has withstood the best minds on the planet, the brightest experts in all the RELEVANT fields trying to find a hole or even a loophole in Darwin's original work. It stands, and no idiot with a high school level, garbled understanding of biology and a book of fables will ever mount a successful assault on it. WE need to stop being so insecure in what we damned well KNOW is reality, and start keeping these cheese heads ON FUCKING POINT.

Geezus...do I HAVE to get out my ruler...?
