It's called "experience."
People suck.
Theists really suck.
Indeed, but wouldn't be great if we all tried to suck just a little bit less?
What do you mean 'we' kemo sabe?
As it turns out,I tried that for about 35 years then got really sick of wasting my time. These days I seldom make the effort and have much deeper level of contentment. This is not always shared by those around me.
I actually kinda totally agree with Min.
Theists qualify as human. [with a certain generosity of spirit] . Humans as a species really suck. Therefore theists suck.
I don't just hate theists. I hate everyone equally. It seems less judgmental and saves so much time. Of course I do make exceptions. At last count there were 213.
I don't understand people like yourself. I can't stand identifying with atheists half of the time, simply because a vast majority of non-believers are completely self serving, and feel enlightened by their 'new found truth.' As a person of at least some semblance of reason, you owe your fellow man and society the best that you can give, because at the end of the day, all we have are each other, for better or worse.
Wake up and start doing something for society. Ok. You are an atheist, which means you aren't a complete wack job. This is great, now move on with your life. Its not enough to just sit around and "be an atheist." You have to start giving a shit, or we are all doomed.

NOTE: There are a lot of illogical atheists out there too of course, but your points still stand.

I remember when I first started realizing that. I just assumed everyone who was an atheist must be a super reasonable an level headed person. Poor 16 year old me when I realized that the notion was FAR from true.
