"It takes more faith to be an atheist"

"You just hate god"

Those two are really annoying.
Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence - Carl Sagan

Mankind's intelligence walks hand in hand with it's stupidity.

Being an atheist says nothing about your overall intelligence, it just means you don't believe in god. Atheists can be as bright as any scientist and as stupid as any creationist.

You never really know just how stupid someone is, until you've argued with them.

Having to continually endure them ending every single bloody statement or sentence they make with "God Bless" or "Praise be God" makes every fibre of my being recoil in disgust and every orifice ooze liquid hate at their sheer stupidity.

Hmm, I might want to seek medical advise for that biological phenomenon. I seem to have adverse reactions to xtians' pious pisstakes and dogmatic death dumps. Smile

^This doesn't bother me so much because its an empathetic statement. Completely unfounded and ridiculous, but displays a small level of kindness and concern nonetheless.

What I find offensive and loathsome is that they continue to worship the cosmic jackass they think is going to condemn me to Hell. Its an insult of the senses.

Well that's just it. While it may at first appear a statement said in kindness, they then start talking about Gods plan for you and how they trust His judgement. At this point you realise they're not being kind at all, but instead being condescending, and they are not at all adverse to the idea of you burning in hell for all eternity.

How do I give a post 10000 kudos?

I hate the statements that basically amount to 'you're not doing it right' like 'you just need to open your heart to Jesus' or 'you need to go to church and pray and god will reveal himself to you.' It's their way of saying that since you have come to a different conclusion than they have, you are doing it incorrectly.
Even if the open windows of science at first make us shiver after the cozy indoor warmth of traditional humanizing myths, in the end the fresh air brings vigor, and the great spaces have a splendor of their own - Bertrand Russell

I think empty is the wrong word. Empty implies that it can be be filled. Full of shit and perhaps?

Basically everything on this list that hasn't already been said:

Christian Clichés
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist.  This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair.  Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second.  That means there's a situation vacant.'
