They're the kind that would stifle truth if given the power, and trample upon things such as the beauty and elegant nature and reality of life, the universe, and everything.
Most dangerous to your preconceived notions about reality, most certainly.

It's impossible to know whether gods exist, so the people who believe in gods have to take a leap of faith to do so. I have seen evidence with my own eyes that the earth is much older than 6k years, and that evolution is a fact. What kind of absurd fucking idiot would I be if I denied it because it wasn't recorded that way in some shitty fucking book written by ignorant fuck sticks with an agenda? I'd be a Lucent, with hot tits, and a good brain, wasted. Thank fuck I am me.
What evidence is that?

I choose to scoff at the idea of mythical figures existing in reality, and stand in awe with the proven knowledge that I am a human being, a primate, whose origins are literally in the stars. I choose to be a kind person who values life, truth, and evidence. If I believed in god, I would be none of those things. I would be a backward person who values death, myth, and nothing much else. If there is a god, and he condemns me for using the brain he gave me, then he can go fuck himself. I have no respect for him, and I would be proud to accept his condemnation.
You stand in awe that you're a space chimp? If you believed in God, your eyes would be open and you would see the truth as it really is, as opposed to how you prefer it to be. God does expect you to use your brain and not be satisified with just-so stories that masquarade themselves as science. How about you actually challenge yourself and refute the arguments in this book?
