Such as?

You're big on the empty rhetoric; not so much on the substance.
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.'

I do not mind cussing and blasphemy, but even as a joke I do not find that funny.

"Eliminated" How? Hard for the theist not to see ovens aimed at them with talk like that. You don't get humans off their crutches by scaring the shit out of them.

I hate to tell my atheist friends this, but there will never be an atheist utopia either. Not even the word "atheist" is a moral code. It only means "off" on god claims.

Cuss religion out. Cuss absurd claims out. But do not think in doing that that you are going to set up a perfect world yourself. If you know their utopias do not exist in reality what makes you think it is even practical for atheists to seek one?

Being blunt and sticking a mirror to religion to face it with an ugly reality is one thing. Suggesting that "atheist" is a moral code is just as absurd. Only our actions determine our morals, not our labels.
Error 404: sense of humor not found.
To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,
To the last syllable of recorded time;
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player,
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage,
And then is heard no more. It is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.

You can know the ingredients for a loaf of bread, how it rises and so on, but at the same time you can enjoy the taste of the bread, just like everyone else.

Yeah, but the soul the above unit has is all zeros and ones. We lose nothing in accepting that we are biological machinery... we can only stand to gain from our potential modability.

Perhaps so. I have learned that as a general rule some people have reached various conclusions based on their atheism. Then when pressed to define those conclusions, they back away into the "no, no, atheism is simply the lack of belief." I suppose it is fair to say atheism doesn't really mean anything other than that disbelief, but it seems to serve many very well as a springboard for various doctrines like naturalism, moral relativism, and fatalism. When that is the case, I think it petty when someone focuses on semantics and not really defend the issues he or she are promoting.
