9. They frequently presume that atheists consider the works of various scientists, philosophers, and prominent atheists to be authoritative in the same way that Christians consider the Bible to authoritative.
If there is a god, I want to believe that there is a god. If there is not a god, I want to believe that there is no god.

Ignoring scriptures they don't want to be inconvenienced by is a biggie.
The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.

A person in need is often very malleable and they know it. Missionaries are the worst example of this. Anyone who helps another person out of the goodness of their heart and expects nothing in return has got my respect and admiration. Doing it for an opportunity to advance an agenda is contemptible. It's like a boss giving a raise to an underling because it will make it more difficult for her to reject sexual advances. It's a particularly dirty tactic.
Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former.

Even 'big ticket' edicts and strictures straight from Jesus' mouth, like not remarrying following divorce, can be totally ignored by current day Christians and they don't feel one particle of apprehension about it, apparently, because despite claiming to be so fully and completely filled with belief in the Jesus, nevertheless on this matter, THEY know better than Christ does.
The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.
General inconsistency; taking some parts of the bible literally, some metaphorically, reinterpreting some, and ignoring others. And it's not just churches that do this but individuals so you end up with a million different interpretations of the bible, all uniquely tailored to the individual. And what's worse is that that seems to be encouraged as a way of creating a 'personal relationship with god'.
10. They claim that they are "persecuted", when in fact they are the ones persecuting us (at least in America).
-The shit and run, my personal favorite.
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!
