As an atheist, what angers you?

[robvalue]

What angers me, apart from the serious things at the start of this thread re USA (though I am UK and it much less applies) is the way that Theists are often duplicitous and intellectually dishonest. They may speak of reasons why it might be reasonable to believe in a Cosmological God, citing Einstein etc... but then a wedge of Deism granted as a reasonable if possibly erroneous surmise that beings might consider Being a part of the Cosmos, they are straight back down their their bloody bible - which, of course, if they read it, tells us 'All fat belongs to the Lord' and that insects have 'four feet'. This makes me instantly in public be an Atheist.... though I may privily have odd thoughts on a Wednesday afternoon that a Being had at least some of the seeing to a universe or universes in which being was in-written.

Welcome to the forum!

Yes, dishonesty is rampant. I think in some cases, they have become so used to employing such techniques to defend their faith at all costs, that they don't even realise they are doing it anymore.

If they actually employed the same levels of arguments and evidence with any other aspect of their lives, I'd be extremely concerned as to how they could function in the world. If you don't act like a sceptic most of the time, you get fucked up one way or another.
