Not to mention about a dozen contemporary writers, including Caesar himself (authenticated by other contemporary writers).
This Jesus is more real than anyone else bullshit just makes me wince at the stupidity, especially when they start trying to make him divine.

Probably quoting verses as if they were a fact of some kind.

Exactly. omg nothing pisses me off more than than theist praying for something and if it comes true it's a miricale if not it's either one of two things. It's God's will wich is truly messed up. or it's mans error.

Actually believing that their (long refuted) philosophical arguments for the existence of 'God' should be convincing to anyone with a working brain cell.
You know the list: Kalam, TAG, ontological...
You'd believe if you just opened your heart" is a terrible argument for religion. It's basically saying, "If you bias yourself enough, you can convince yourself that this is true." If religion were true, people wouldn't need faith to believe it -- it would be supported by good evidence.

Disrespectfully thanking "god" when it was the efforts of man that ended their tribulation, whatever the cause.
For example:
A Muslim thanks Allah when the cardiovascular surgeon saves him/her from dying of a heart attack.
A Jew thanks Yahweh when medical scientists develop a new treatment/drug to save him/her from a life-threatening infectious agent.
A Hindu thanks Shiva or whatever when firefighters save him/her from a burning building.
A Christian thanks God/Jesus when rescuers save miners from a collapsed shaft.
IT. PISSES. ME. OFF.

Or "ALL prayers are answered; sometimes the answer's 'no'. Checkmate,
athiests!!!!!!"
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'

Annoying but easily refuted. You can pray to a teapot but the outcome would be the same.
Most pathetic arguments can be refuted with just a few short words. Annoys them more than it does you.
Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence - Carl Sagan
Mankind's intelligence walks hand in hand with it's stupidity.
Being an atheist says nothing about your overall intelligence, it just means you don't believe in god. Atheists can be as bright as any scientist and as stupid as any creationist.
You never really know just how stupid someone is, until you've argued with them.
