I think I finally figured out why Christians are pissed of at "new athiests. [View all]

It's simply because "new atheists" behave pretty much the same way "old Christians" behave, pushing their point of view into your face whether you want to listen or not. It's nothing more than jealousy because we stole their shtick, and turned it on them. Payback is a bitch. The only big difference is that we don't go door to door passing out atheist literature. Maybe we should. Maybe we really should be more aggressive in our quest to bring intellectual enlightenment to a world victimized by the scam that is religion.
