Yet we don't consider it arrogant to tell theists that what they think is irrational, would not a similar standard apply if the "lack of belief" stance is irrational? If it's an irrational position to hold, shouldn't we criticize it likewise?
If the belief is indeed irrational, how does make the atheist arrogant? I'd say it's just telling the truth. Remember, theists come HERE to us to argue this stuff. If the theist is hyper-sensitive about their beliefs then they should keep them within the theist circle.
