I am angry about the lack of love in the atheist movement, Mr Infidel. My feelings are not hurt.
But I am upset that atheists will proudly label themselves "an asshole". I am scared about the future of society. I am scared about the fact that atheists will go to great lengths to demand that Christians will follow their arguments and understand the web of complex reasoning in order to understand what they are trying to say, but will almost never extend the same courtesy for Christians.
As someone who believes somewhat in the free exchange of ideas, in democratic societies, and in the potential for debate to create a mutually beneficial exchange of ideas, I am upset about the immaturity and mean spiritedness that I see.
I am also upset that this meanspiritedness will certainly affect peoples perception of God, and their salvation.
God cannot be understood by the mean spirited.
