Yeah, I think I caught a little bit of that from your post. It's certainly hard not to jump down that hole (that's what sh...) and I would argue that there isn't much of a place to generalize to all theists. But I can certainly make the case for specifically calling certain theists' actions stupid or worse.
"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great
