Being a genius among that bunch of shitheads is not a very high bar to get over.

How? The ad is targeting supporters of evolutionary theory; not all of whom are atheists. Additionally, the "gun" metaphor is used throughout the ad, specifically calling the 15 questions "rounds" and saying that creationists are eager to "fire" them (as in, fire a question).

It's a stupid advert, but I don't think there is any argument you can make that they are suggesting people shoot atheists...or anyone for that matter.

Sarah Palin made that same stupid argument in the aftermath of the Tucson shooting.

And she's a flaming idiot.

The imagery is clear and try to remember that over here we have lots of idiots walking around with guns.

'The difference between a Miracle and a Fact is exactly the difference between a mermaid and seal. It could not be expressed better.'
-- Samuel "Mark Twain" Clemens

"I think that in the discussion of natural problems we ought to begin not with the scriptures, but with experiments, demonstrations, and observations".

- Galileo Galilei (1564-1642)

"In short, Meyer has shown that his first disastrous book was not a fluke: he is capable of going into any field in which he has no training or research experience and botching it just as badly as he did molecular biology. As I've written before, if you are a complete amateur and don't understand a subject, don't demonstrate the Dunning-Kruger effect by writing a book about it and proving your ignorance to everyone else! "

- Dr. Donald Prothero

and that is why I said "If I didnt know better..." before i said that...which means I am aware that is not what they are meaning.

In reality its not good to use gun talk for anything like this.

Did you not understand what "If I didnt know better" meant? I thought it was quite simple and blunt.
