I don't understand where you got the impression that I was. You must have impressive inference skills.

I was raised as a Christian so I had Christian ideas going into my head for years, which I encouraged through, for example, going to church-related groups up to five times a week at points. Now I consider many of those ideas false, so I am trying to get them out of my head, because false ideas are not beneficial. I consider that calm and reasonable.

If you want reasons why other atheists are angry, Greta Christina spent quite a time expounding on the subject. (Note: URL broken as I didn't want to embed the video and cannot find a way to tell it to be a normal link. Any tips on how to do so, people?) hxxp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GUI_ML1qkQE

I don't understand why this is almost always the first inference Christians make concerning atheism.

I simply don't understand why the two of you are "calling me out" when I've simply responded to what the op wrote here of her own free accord.

Oh please. Conned into what exactly?

Just reread it...don't see any anger. Sure you're not projecting?

Well maybe we're reading it differently.

"She herself perpetuated" to me makes her sound angry about it all. Otherwise why use the word "perpetuate"?

RE: Morning!
Yeah, that sounds like either a bad word choice, or a bit of harsh self-condemnation.
"Well, evolution is a theory. It is also a fact. And facts and theories are different things, not rungs in a hierarchy of increasing certainty. Facts are the world's data. Theories are structures of ideas that explain and interpret facts. Facts don't go away when scientists debate rival theories to explain them. Einstein's theory of gravitation replaced Newton's in this century, but apples didn't suspend themselves in midair, pending the outcome. And humans evolved from ape- like ancestors whether they did so by Darwin's proposed mechanism or by some other yet to be discovered."

Verb
Make (something, typically an undesirable situation or an unfounded belief) continue indefinitely.
Preserve (something valued) from oblivion or extinction.

I see no anger inherent in that.
