Although, it should be noted that despite my using the “without exception” phrase above, some will drop that strawman and proceed to a more interesting level of debate when called on it. Those are the rare and precious ones. The only ones I call friends are like that.

Another thing I like to point out is how, if you put two different theists in a room and set the topic to religion, they will find no end of things to debate/argue about. Visit any number of religious-themed sites or blogs on the web and ample proof of this is provided. Yet, when you wander around the web and read posts authored by atheists, they all present the exact same ideas in sycophantic unison. And ever since The God Delusion was published, they frequently use the exact same words and phrases as well. Their ability to quote verses from their holy book exceeds most fundamentalists I know. So….more delicious irony as they claim that they’re “freethinkers”, the ones who singularly possess the gift of creative, independent thought. When the title of “mindless parrot” gets brought up, the only argument that can be had over most of today’s atheists and religious fundamentalists is which one gets called “pot” and which one gets called “kettle”, because they’re certainly all of the same color.
