Fellow Austinite Amanda Marcotte says I'm brain damaged.

Thanks, Amanda!

This comment is spot on.

It’s simply that anti-theism irritates me as much as religious fundamentalism does. I would expect the inability to listen to a reasonable argument from WBC members, but not from people who claim to pride themselves on their ability to apply logic to everyday situations.

I can get on board with people who claim religion shouldn’t be exempt from criticism, but not with those who think it’s incumbent upon atheists to go around bitch-slapping every theist they can find with a copy of “The God Delusion” because, oh the poor dears, it’s such a simple book that even some deluded religionist should be able to understand the arguments.

Exactly.
