One pisses you off to no end. The other believes in magic.

@Renaci Atheism doesn't piss me off at all. I was atheist half of my life. I think it is a rational choice, and I think believers such as myself should be fine with it. Why wouldn't they? The only reason not to be as far as I can tell is ideology and ignorance.
I don't have a problem with atheists or atheism, I have a problem with idiots with big mouths, fake ideologies, and smug self righteousness. Groupthink, religion, stupidity. Trouble is, that's pretty much all of us. Human nature. Sin.

when you mention sin, how do you see it ? Most people nowadays consider anything that causes unnecessary harm or grief as immorality
But we have laws to safeguard us from much of that. Sin isn’t so clear cut anymore. What people do in the privacy of their own homes, is their choice. Sin is subject to informed consent, not necessarily to out dated rules in a old book.
