Reasoning is always good.
Where you are you're in the minority, it's an understandable reation.

Nah, I don't think so. It always helps to see the human side. That Rayaan isn't what has been typical here: hit and run Muslims[/theists].

Islam is Muslims. While it might sound far-fetched, you never know how many Muslims will be Rayaans in ten, twenty, fifty years. Sure, extremist Islam is a son of a bitch right now, but so is Catholicism. I have more hope for the former, to be honest.

It does have the benefit of going big-time in a far more educated era.
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!

I have a hard time with that. Theistic beliefs don't piss me off. Some individual theists do. It's not what they believe, it is how they deliver it. Plus, like any other group, there are theists who are utter douches.

Which is what sets Rayaan apart. He has a sense of humor.
Really, most muslims are the most dour set of douches going...

Thestic beliefs didnt use to piss me off, but then I realised that these beliefs led them to vote and act in certain ways that impacted other people.
This is mainly true in america, in britain we have a home grown form of theism that, for most practicle purposes, is indestinguishable from atheism, it is the evangelical american style creationist, fundamentalist drivel that gets my full contempt. these people purposely switch off reason and logic so they can still believe the tripe they do and try and force these beliefs on others.
I am turning red and steaming at the ears as i type.
