It's so true isn't it! lol 
I was watching this debate between William Lane Craig and Sam Harris, and I skipped the vid on from Craig's bit to Harris's bit (just because I am SO tired of hearing Craig spout the stuff he spouts lol) and immediately I am greeted by... a smirk! haha
I just find it really funny - I am an atheist myself so there's no malice here at all, I just find it funny!
When I think about it, I think all atheists involved in debate that I know smirk!
Dawkins, Hitchens, Harris, Maher, and so forth!
(I think it's just because they're very self-assured that they're correct, clued-up, and that they feel like they have no-one to answer to or judging them, which I think makes someone feel more confident in that sense).
So!! I wanted to discuss this phenomenon here, and also post some of our favourite atheist smirks! ^^
I'll start with a couple of Dawkins!
