Personally I get tired of theists who come here and tell me what it means to be an atheist and then proudly go about dismantling the straw man they themselves created. I don't find it any more interesting when atheists do the same.
That may be how it seems, but no. I actually think religion is the oldest and still most successful form of charlatanism. That's how it started, and that's how it stayed. That sell is so hot it even fools some of the salesmen. Whether that makes it easy to dismiss is beside the point of why I think that.
Verbatim from the mouth of Jesus (retranslated from a retranslation of a copy of a copy):
"Do not judge, or you too will be judged. For in the same way you judge others, you too will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you. How can you see your brother's head up his ass when your own vision is darkened by your head being even further up your ass? How can you say to your brother, 'Get your head out of your ass,' when all the time your head is up your own ass? You hypocrite! First take your head out of your own ass, and then you will see clearly who has his head up his ass and who doesn't." Matthew 7:1-5 (also Luke 6: 41-42)
