Even if they were ALL smarter than me, that doesn't add validity to their claims... But the rest of that argument aside, satire isn't the same as normal mockery. We try for the most part to maturely express how we feel about our opinions. You on the other hand, say “I think that dipshits like yourself that mock the beliefs of others should be shot." How can you expect to get respect when you do that? "evolution serves the function of a religion for us" Exactly. We use evolution to provide us with an unquestionable belief that we won't have to test, argue with, or question. I see your point. "christians want to believe that Jesus is god" I thought he was his son... Oh well, I suppose it’s all ambiguous... And anyway I think almost all of us do realize that religious people have the right to their beliefs, and we only argue with them in the hopes that they might decide (on their OWN will) to agree with us. We don't have anything "against" people who express their opinions in a likewise peaceful and respectful manner, just those who start cursing us out and killing us.

"Plus both Dostoevsky & Kierkegaard where alive in periods when Atheism was not really an option." Dostoevsky lived in the early 19th century. Hardly the time that they were burning witches.

I must agree with you that evolution theory is just as much a religion as Christianity. It is an explanation of the unknown, and has more evidence than the Adam and Eve explaination. On the other hand evolution theory provides a kind of evidence that allows us to produce medicines to better our future. . Now, as for telling us to shut the fuck up... Well I must say that we have freedom of religion, thought and speech. Sure there is mockery in our religion, but how is this different from Chritianity. Christain artwork converted Poseidon's pitchfork into a symbol of the devil, just one of the many examples. If we must be silenced, then it should be done with justice to all other offending religions. I have a girlfriend, and she is the one that introduced me to this site.
