Wow. Look at all the responses saying that they've never met an asshole Theist IRL. Wow. Where do you guys live? Can I move there and crash on your couch while I look for an apartment? Wow.
I've met so many I'm having a hard time choosing between them. Before I graduated from high school I had encountered two (Protestant, married with children) preachers who made a pass at me in their office. (Thankfully there were people outside of the office each time, so a solid "stop!" and a threat of screaming got me out the door.) We learned later that one of 'em had gotten nearly 1/2 of the 7th grade girls pregnant.
There was the idiot minister who kept showing videos that "proved" the Devil recorded backwards messages in rock records. Or the idiot minister who insisted that we pray using "thee and thou" and "sayest" and "giveth" because that was the way Jesus spoke.
Honorable mention goes to the guy handing out Bible tracts in the parking lot. I removed the tract under my wiper blade, handed it back to him, and told him to use it on another car - "I'm an atheist". As I was pulling out of the parking lot, he came running at my car and broke the windshield with a baseball bat, screaming something about how I was going to burn in hell.
Oh yeah, those are just the first few to pop into my head.
