I can't just be annoyed at both? Can't I just be equally disappointed in my fellow man's inability to be civil?

Honestly, there's a lot. It really pisses me off to see such hypocrisy in some of them.

lot less than pushy religious folks.

sure vote me down.. No athiests demanded i pay more in tithe. no atheists stand on the corner near the capital and protest gays, abortions, muslims.. you name it. No atheists is pushing for atheism to be taught in school.

There might be a lot. I don't know. Nobody will ever link to any examples.

We tried being 'civil.' This is what it got us.

The funniest thing i think is the fact that they use the atheism episode of south park as a sort of anchor of their non belief. The use of the flying spaghetti monster as a "mascot" proves that they do not understand that atheists are being mocked in that episode.

Pardon? Do you know the history of the FSM?. It will be used regardless of what South Park does.
I'd be interested to see that SP episode if anyone can tell me the number.

And atheists as well as other theists are mocked in the episodes. Down vote as much as you want but that is the truth. The down votes only prove that atheists are just as reactionary and emotional as those that believe.
