Are Atheists Angry?

Do you:
A) Wonder at the power of imagination and have nothing but love
B) A little annoyed at the extremists but overall at peace
C) Seriously worry about the state of the world and it's religious influences.
D) Am pissed at everyone that believes in God, feel betrayed by those who raised you and want to hit something every-time a church bell rings.

I try to be an "A" but to be honest, some people just slam me in the D category. I'm not even an atheist. I'm open minded but my biggest pet peeve is know-it-alls I guess.

Hmmm.

I wonder at the power of imagination and am overall at peace. I am mindful of the state of the world and religion's hand in that, but don't seriously worry about it. I like most of the people I know, including the ones who believe in god. I feel a mild sense of bitterness at those who taught me religion while not being terribly religious themselves, because the whole "do as I say" bit has more than a kernel of truth.

I am who I am. I try not to waste too much time worrying about how I got here. I prefer to spend my remaining existence the way I spent most of it to this point-- enjoying life and living it well.
"Well, evolution is a theory. It is also a fact. And facts and theories are different things, not rungs in a hierarchy of increasing certainty. Facts are the world's data. Theories are structures of ideas that explain and interpret facts. Facts don't go away when scientists debate rival theories to explain them. Einstein's theory of gravitation replaced Newton's in this century, but apples didn't suspend themselves in midair, pending the outcome. And humans evolved from ape- like ancestors whether they did so by Darwin's proposed mechanism or by some other yet to be discovered."
