Becoming an angry atheist

[Neo-Scholastic]

Injustice is injustice, no matter the stated reason. And aren't you the fellow who here argues steadfastly for moral absolutism?

The OPer is upset because some people disagree with his beliefs and express so in often disparaging terms. Boo hoo hoo. That's hardly comparable to being discriminated against because of color. There's a world of difference between "You cannot join our church because you haven't yet repented" and "you can't join our church because you're black."

Atheism is not a choice, it's a state of mind.

Sorry, but I must throw the bullshit flag. Rational people have the ability to reflect on their beliefs and to change them if they see fit. Enlightened societies respect this process of working out one's own beliefs as freedom of conscience. Those same enlightened societies recognize that vigorous debate, and sometimes outright argument, is part of that process.
