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.

That just reinforces my assertion that atheists are evangelicals of
the belief in nothing.

As I stated earlier, I know only one atheist, and he isn't pushing any
legislative action to force his non-beliefs on anyone, unlike the
christians, who try to use the legislature to force their believes on
everyone.

It is a rare atheist who is not walking around town looking for
something to be offended about at this time of year.

You must know one hell of a lot of atheists to make a comment like that.
I only know one atheist. The last time I was in "mixed company" during
the Christmas holiday season, I was the lone agnostic lined up against a
phalanx of southern christian protestant conservatives at a house party,
who were getting off on a pretty snarly verbal attack on a catholic they
all knew but I didn't. They were attacking his religion and the "fact"
that he wasn't a *real* christian. I thought that was pretty disgusting,
and I got up and left the room, saying "Jesus, the Jew, would be so
proud of how well you are following his teachings."

Gosh, I never got invited back to another of those house parties. My
heart was unbroken.
