I'm just speaking about what I've experienced in this forum. I don't know whether or not most of the people I encounter daily are atheists or not. I just have no desire or pull to stop believing in God.

We aren't normally.
If all a group of people you meet seem to be a angry, then you got to think to yourself, what is the common denominator?

Well, there is much about this nation and world at large that does indeed trouble and anger me--quite rightfully so.

Truth be told, I don't find the "It's all going to magically work out in the end" fairy tale delusion that so many religious folks tend to adopt to be particularly impressive; Or it's accompanying "Don't get angry" and forgiveness mantras. The ability to anesthetize oneself against the cruelties and injustices of this world and accept bullshit with barely a peep is not a virtue in my book. Not in the least.

If I went to a Christian or Muslim forum, I could just as justifiably decide 'Christians are so angry'. But that would be a hasty generalization. There is a study on the subject:

Life sustaining air is consumed by the likes of you, how can we not be angry?

I guess there is no spark of true grace in your life. Luck of the draw, I guess.

This is the kind of stuff I'm talking about. Are you angry with me because I believe in God? Now you know why I think atheists are angry. It seems that people who believe in God make you guys sizzle even when we do nothing wrong to you.

Speaking solely for myself I get sick of people who come here and preach. I wouldn't walk across the street to piss on a preacher if they were on fire.

You would, but you wouldn't know if he was keeping a promise.

Hey, YOU were the one who brought atheists being angry. I simply responded with "So fucking what?"; there is much about the world that folks should be angry about. I just don't feel your claim of not experiencing normal human emotions such as anger...especially when it's justified...warrants you or cookie or anything.

FYI: Idgaf about anyone's God-belief, in and of itself.
I do take issue with the shitty actions (or lack of appropriate action) that tends to be informed by people's beliefs, though.
