I don't know why you want me to be resentful of them or their beliefs.

What, exactly, do you think I want again? I think you might be projecting your own frustration with my comments onto me and my wants or desires.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
So what do you want?
Double shot of bourbon, with a lager to chase it down?

Thanks for being a dear. Daddy's tired. Spent a few hours burying garlic, onions, and asparagus.

No worries, pumpkin.
It just dawned on me though, that perhaps I've been derelict in my duties? Maybe I should head back out and do a rain-dance, sprinkle some magic dust, say a few prayers? Sacrifice my firstborn? I do loves me some garlic, wouldn't want it to die.

It's partly because I am very tolerant indeed, yes that's true. But I don't see it as being tolerant, because I don't find them or their beliefs to be something to tolerate. I simply don't have a problem with it all. And it's partly because I don't tend to come across theists who also happen to be irritating. And it's also a question of give and take, and keeping an open mind when it comes to understanding where others are coming from. I try not to be judgmental and that's the key. People respond well to that. We all have a desire to be understood and when you grant that, you get positive results. For me it's about communication. Thanks for the welcome. I hope you understand. Tell us all about your atheism, what it means to you, how you became atheist. Rather than going on all day about tolerating theism (and fuck all else) and pigeonholing various atheists into different theist hating holes. Your entire existence appears to be to tell everybody how un-threatened you are by all these good theists, how you never think about it at all - yet all you do is talk about it. This has raised big red flags for me since you joined - as you well know. Why are you atheist? Say it... Say you do not believe that there is a god because there is absolutely no evidence to support his existence. Say that you think that theistic beliefs are unfounded and that theists are very likely wrong and deluded. Say it.
You are currently experiencing a lucky and very brief window of awareness, sandwiched in between two periods of timeless and utter nothingness. So why not make the most of it, and stop wasting your life away trying to convince other people that there is something else? The reality is obvious.
Meh, perhaps he's in the same boat as some of the rest of us, simply never believed. Perhaps he has no reasons for not believing, just can't force himself to the table. It takes all kinds.
