I've not read the "atheist handbook." Which edition do you recommend?

It is the real religion of hate
Really? Are there tribes of atheists running amok in the middle east,
tossing bombs at buses full of school children, or are the atheists too
busy flying drones into wedding parties? Oh, I know...it's the atheists
shooting abortion doctors.
You don't have to be violent to hate.
People who take that much joy in ridiculing another's beliefs is
hateful.
Well, in that case all the christians who ridicule atheists, muslims,
jews, gays, hindus, whatever, are hateful. That would include your
buddies here in rec.boats. Yet another reason to find a cure for
religion.
Could you point me to an example where anyone in rec.boats have
ridiculed any of the above based on religious reasons?
I don't like fundamentalist muslims who believe you either convert or
lose your head. But that doesn't mean I don't like *all* people of the
Muslim faith.
I personally have a little trouble with gay marriages. I don't have any
problem with civil unions. But, I don't despise or condemn gays just
because they are gay or because our legal system has decided that gay
marriages are ok.
I can't recall anyone else here overtly engaging in ridicule of anyone's
religious beliefs or lifestyles .... well, except one person ... you.
Well, John is having fun mocking gays lately... I deal with a lot of
young folks and personally I find it pretty hateful and offensive...
Mostly because it's deliberate and with obvious malice.
Bull****! I'm not mocking gays. I'm mocking gay 'marriages' - along with lesbian, transsexual,
bisexual, transvestite, etc. 'marriages'. I'm mocking TV shows that imply the US population is about
50% Glibitz, when less than 3% of the population actually is.
I've got relatives who are gay/lesbian. Doesn't bother me at all. I love them dearly. But, they
don't try to shove 'gaydom' down my throat or my grandkids' throats.
