Ex-theists are often like ex-smokers, sanctimonious and insufferable.

RE: Ex-theists are often like ex-smokers, sanctimonious and insufferable.
At least have some consideration for x-theists, who seem normal until they reach puberty and BAM... they're reluctant super-heroes, serving a world that hates them for who they are.
"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."
