Myth of The Angry Atheist
#11
RE: Myth of The Angry Atheist
It's not like we don't have anything to be angry about, but when we point it out they want to go to the grandma who prays to make her feel good about herself. Instead of something like the lawyer or preacher who want to have all the gays killed. Or the politicians who try their darndest to turn this country into the christian Saudi Arabia.

Good video to watch, if you want to know how common the Jesus story really is.

The list goes on and on.  It is blatantly unfair how things are set up and the religious are demanding more and more power.  Damn straight I'm angry.  You should be too.
I agree with everything you said except the anger. Mine is something less than anger/outrage but more than miffed. How about irritated? I'll voice my opinion about it but it's not something I'm willing to go to the mattresses for.

It's all anger, just in various degrees.
There is nothing demonstrably true that religion can provide mankind that cannot be achieved as well or better through secular means.

I'm not angry. I'm bullshit intolerant.

I think when people say atheists are "angry" they really mean "aggressive." The two often go hand in hand but don't need to.

Personally, I very, very rarely get angry, and I practically never get aggressive.

Don't worry, my friend.  If this be the end, then so shall it be.

If being "angry" means having the audacity to ask a question now and then, and refusing to eat each and every piece of bullshit people attempt to feed me, then so be it. Might as well own that shit!

That's only natural because everyone tends to hear the ones bawling the loudest. And there are quite a few prominent atheists, who fit the bill of angry and loud. It's the same with us and christians. That's at least my observation.
