I didn't want to name any theists out of fear he might troll them. But since CL posted in his thread, I figured I'd point out his misconception.

"So to the book's provocation, the statement that nearly half the people in the United States don't believe in evolution. Not just any people but powerful people, people who should know better, people with too much influence over educational policy. We are not talking about Darwin's particular theory of natural selection. It is still (just) possible for a biologist to doubt its importance, and a few claim to. No, we are here talking about the fact of evolution itself, a fact that is proved utterly beyond reasonable doubt. To claim equal time for creation science in biology classes is about as sensible as to claim equal time for the flat-earth theory in astronomy classes. Or, as someone has pointed out, you might as well claim equal time in sex education classes for the stork theory. It is absolutely safe to say that if you meet somebody who claims not to believe in evolution, that person is ignorant, stupid or insane (or wicked, but I'd rather not consider that).

If that gives you offence, I'm sorry. You are probably not stupid, insane or wicked; and ignorance is no crime in a country with strong local traditions of interference in the freedom of biology educators to teach the central theorem of their subject."
Ahh quote mining thought that might be so . Though Dawkins does say stupid shit . He's a good biologist . But he should really stay off twitter and not give speeches .

Take Richard Dawkins, please.  What a vile, angry man, or should I say socialist.  Even some of his atheist peers have stated
that Dawkins makes them embarrassed to be an atheist.

I've found that, generally, the 'stupid shit' spoken by (almost) any public figure is often the result of someone else spreading their version of what they actually said, rather than the person themselves. Not always, but often enough.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist.  This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair.  Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second.  That means there's a situation vacant.'

You, however, seem to be a cunt.

I'll take Dawkins over an ignorant fool like you any day.

Your point?  Do you think ALL atheists are angry?  And your reason for bringing this up is . . . what?

Well, gee, the Atheists who have been bashed and fired and disowned and abused for not believing in fairy tales aren't the only angry people in the world.

Let's see . . . there are, just to barely scratch the surface . . . 
Steven Anderson, who has said that "the world could be AIDS-free by Christmas if only we “executed the homos like God recommends”, "LGBT stands for Let God Burn Them", who believes that women shouldn't vote, and that anyone who isn't a Protestant Christian deserves to burn in hell forever.  Fred Phelps, whose Westboro Baptist Church is known for picketing funerals and other churches holding up the "God Hates ____" signs, and "Thank God for 9/11".  Jim Bakker, who claims that "God will punish America with earthquakes, hurricanes and terrorist attacks if Trump is impeached."  The dozens of preachers who have weighed in on the MSD shooting by saying that "God is killing our children because we took prayer out of the schools".  John McTernan, Buster Wilson, Franklin Graham, etc. who said that Hurricanes are God's punishment for Gay Marriage.  And there's the loony Pat Robertson . . . 

Gee, and hatefulness and vitriol actually brings people into their churches, so maybe it works.  Maybe we can assume that ALL Christians are that way.  Right?
