Interesting read, especially the comments below. I chuckled at this one:

Hey idiot. I'm a bearded Muslim who can set up a wireless network in your house.

You choose me or Christian Timothy McVeigh?

I have an atheist friend who is in the closet, and it really pisses me off. I hate that he is ashamed of what he believes.

Now that homosexuality is becoming tolerated in mainstream society, the Christian majority needs another punching bag, and I guess atheists are it.

I liked this one.

Quote:

If God has no confidence and doesn't believe in himself, does that make him an atheist?

That's where I come in. I have no issues if someone wants to believe in a higher power, be it the vengeful old man of Christianity, Allah, Shiva, or Bob the scientist who actually created the universe inside his laptop as a fun social experiment.

However, I conversely would like to be accorded the same respect for my belief that there probably isn't a higher power in any sense people think of it now.

I guess this proves the old theory for every action there is a equal and opposite reaction

quoted from text

"I think the hidden benefit of Islamic extremism is that it freed the atheists from their closets. The old mindset in the United States was that almost any religion was good, and atheism was bad. But since 9/11, atheism has moved above Islam in the rankings, at least in the minds of Christians and Jews in the United States. "
