The problem with theists is that they don't accept "I don't know" as an answer.
"I don't know, but I want to find out through observation, testing and analysis" is what drives man to progression.
Not... "god did it"
As for why atheists are becoming more arrogant in society, I say this: "It's about f--king time!". This talking snake BS, Mohamad, the kiddie-fiddler on his flying horse and 9 year old wife, Moses and his burning bush.... SHEEZ - It's the 21st century. "This sh*t has got to go!"
You don't respect that which does not deserve respect.
Isn't it amusing that even christians, the general mainstream ones, generally when approached with an extremisit who says: "I want to tell you more about jesus" normally backs away, rather than goes closer?
On another note...
Wait till a theist actually joins this thread. See how the tone changes...
I suspect one or two are here already - when I see the "g" in god capitalized. Something that I despise. It gives it a status, a respect that is not warranted.
