I'm not that annoyed by the amazing atheist because he open and honest about what he is, he is a entertainer, and all is secondary to that.

I don't seriously dislike him but when someone comes along and basically says that anyone who doesn't find him funny is essentially lacking in intelligence then I'm gonna be a tad pissed.

I do find him rather smug and unfunny but I have no idea if he's really a cunt.

What gets on my nerves is the PC atheists. Its my honest to god belief that every needs to be oxpposed to offensive things, for how do you grow if you stay in that little box called your comfort zone?

Mister mynameistoofuckinglongtospell, was just being an arrogant ass. As for Tj, its the main part of his persona, and I think that it is largely intended to speak to that angsty 17 year old in us. Hell I love him because he comes out and says what angsty teenage me is thinking. But to each their own.

I find evangelist atheists annoying, because I find evangelists of all stripes annoying. I don't mind anyone up front about their faith or lack of faith; I expect honesty from everyone I know. But this idea that atheists must emulate Christians in putting their [lack of] faith into another's face annoy me, because when I thereafter mention my own atheism, I get lumped in with the douchebags.

Fedora is to derogatory as London Broil is to auto repair.

Yeah, I agree with you that lumping people together is a problem. It makes it harder to be taken credibly. It pisses me off that people's reputation will govern whether they're taken seriously. I have 0 respect for that sort of thing, especially if the person in question is really smart. I guess this is why I have such a fascination with criminals and criminal behavior. I've watched so many documentaries about murderers. Doesn't it say something more about a person, to look at them without judgment and actually try to figure out what they're about, instead of making up front judgments? Sorry, this rant may not be relevant to you, but that's been on my mind a lot right now. So again, I have 0 respect for a person who'd generalize an atheist, I guess that's why I have 0 tolerant for theists. I'm probably one of the asshole atheists that people would lump you together with. I just find it too disgusting not to feel some disdain for ignorant, generalizing Christians.

Or for people dumb enough to laugh at an unfunny smug cunt.

I remember he used to be a nostalgia critic-style Internet reviewer on the nostalgia critic website. I hated him. He was whiny and unfunny. He whined about how Scott Pilgrim didn't do well in theaters and how sheeple are stupid for not liking it. This is coming from me, a fan of Scott Pilgrim.
