Why do atheists always seem so angry, like this one?

And what's with the inability to separate (a) creationism from (b) religion? You do know that not all Christians - and let's not forget the other types of belief - are creationist. Right? You know this, right?[/quote]

I don't think they do. It's okay. Those of us who grew up with strict religious strictures know lots of people who were damaged by their faith's upbringing as practiced by their parents and who vocally go the other way to compensate. Doesn't hurt us.[/quote]

I dunno, is it OK? I'm not doubting for a second that some angry atheists were damaged by their upbringing. (And others, like some members of DH's family, were never exposed to religion and come off as ignorant blowhards all on their own.)

Here's the problem. I'm pretty sure that PP gets the distinction about creationism and religion.But if damage is the problem, as you suggest, then is lashing out, blindly and furiously, the best way to deal with it? She's picking fights with anonymous posters using "facts" she knows to be wrong. It seems unhealthy.[/quote]
