Atheism's Definition - Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy
#78
RE: Atheism's Definition - Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy
There is a down side to being an atheist, and that's facing the sheer overwhelming absurdity and insanity from the many crazies out there. They push your patients to the very limits and no matter how much facts you have, or scientific support or other. They'll never listen. Somehow they are always right, even when completely wrong. Facing the most absurd can be most frustrating.
Shutting them out is often the best move available.
At least there are plenty of good things, we're free. No burden of proof, nothing to defend. No religion to follow, no religious rules and no church attendance.
Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence - Carl Sagan

Mankind's intelligence walks hand in hand with it's stupidity.

Being an atheist says nothing about your overall intelligence, it just means you don't believe in god. Atheists can be as bright as any scientist and as stupid as any creationist.

You never really know just how stupid someone is, until you've argued with them.
