Well FWIW I wasn't thinking of you, or any other theist on this site for that matter, in my own reply to this thread... I was thinking of the sort of theist that wouldn't dare set foot on a site like this and engage with atheists, like some I know.
As to your cultural problems with atheism... how do you figure all of those?
Yes we should all hate questioning. It was a great time when blacks were slaves and women could not vote. It really sucks that atheists like Bill Gates and Steve Jobs and Mark Zuckerburg provided a platform for theists to argue we should all go back to the dark ages.
