I like Dawkins because he never actually says God doesn't exist, he's just 99% sure about it. I agree with you though, a lot of people are just ego-tripping assholes simply trying to insult people's beliefs. They do suck, but I think it's just retaliation to religious dickwads that say you're going to burn in hell if Jesus isn't your one and only savior. I know I've always remained realtively calm about my views, but I've had to go ape shit on some inbred Christians in my day and would gladly do it again if provoked.


PS.......who said bud?
I feel you on that and I too dislike the forcefully religious, to me though the difference is that most religious people (even some of the forceful ones) seem to be genuinely interested in helping people (at least they think they are helping people) I just never get that vibe from the other side.
