You would've hooked more people by using "The God Delusion" instead of Origin of Species. Heck, it would've probably started an argument all its own.
"Well, evolution is a theory. It is also a fact. And facts and theories are different things, not rungs in a hierarchy of increasing certainty. Facts are the world's data. Theories are structures of ideas that explain and interpret facts. Facts don't go away when scientists debate rival theories to explain them. Einstein's theory of gravitation replaced Newton's in this century, but apples didn't suspend themselves in midair, pending the outcome. And humans evolved from ape- like ancestors whether they did so by Darwin's proposed mechanism or by some other yet to be discovered."

-Stephen Jay Gould

They both preach. Everywhere.
They both think the other side has no morals. (The Crusades = Stalin)
They both join organizations that preach together.
They both have symbols.
They both quote famous believers. (Lane Craig = Harris)
They both have holy books. (The Bible = "On the Origin of Species")

1) Where on earth do you get the idea that Atheists don't like each other.
2) You are confusing preaching with public discussions and meetings.
3) In regards to Stalin, you are making the circular reasoning fallacy. You are saying all Atheists are Marxists, all Marxists are Atheists.
4) What symbols do Atheists use?
5) Sam Harris is not a believer in anything. Listen to his speeches and read his books.
6) Do you honestly think all Atheists worship On the Origin of Species as a bible? The word root "A" means "no". "Theist" means deity. Atheist means "no God". But that is not to say all Atheists are pro-evolution. You confuse Atheists with Darwinists or evolutionists.

Jeez guys, lighten up...
I only smirked at the "Both sides think the other is deluded" bit but still, come on people. No need for that. .-.

Both tend to be dumb as rocks (dinosaurs lived with man and women should be submissive = Bible is only fairy-tales and it's from the Bronze Age) and accuse the other side of being stupid or foolish.
But if we walk in the light, as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus, His Son, purifies us from all sin.

They both write even more books.
Neither side will cease to exist because they're right, everyone else is wrong, and the only reason they don't agree is because they don't want to acknowledge the truth.

So don't you go around thinking you're special. Tongue
I can sort of see why you might think that makes us fundamentalists... But how in the name of fuck did this bring you to the conclusion that we are Christians?!

Well everyone has claims they fight for, so if we atheists are "fundies" it would be like accusing us of hating believers claims that the earth was flat. Excuse the fuck out of me for defending FACTS!
