Uhh...that was Dark Helmet who said that, not Skroob. 

I have been wondering why a lot of scientists, atheists, and other people I'm forgetting to name all have a problem with religion. I mean what's the big deal with believing in God or any other deity. I mean major atheist assholes say," Religion teaches people how to judge others who don't believe what they believe and they're all lies."
Source: hereWe say, pronounce, sentence, and declare that you, the above-mentioned Galileo, because of the things deduced in the trial and confessed by you as above, have rendered yourself according to this Holy Office vehemently suspected of heresy, namely of having held and believed a doctine which is false and contrary to the divine and Holy Scripture: that the sun is the center of the world and does not move from east to west, and the earth moves and is not the center of the world, and that one may hold and defend as probable an opinion after it has been declared and defined contrary to Holy Scripture. Consequently you have incurred all the censures and penalties imposed and promulgated by the sacred canons and all particular and general laws against such delinquents. We are willing to absolve you from them provided that first, with a sincere heart and unfeigned faith, in front of us you abjure, curse, and detest the above-mentioned errors and heresies, and every other error and heresy contrary to the Catholic and Apostolic Church, in the manner and form we will prescribe to you.
Furthermore, so that this serious and pernicious error and transgression of yours does not remain completely unpunished, and so that you will be more cautious in the future and an example for others to abstain from similar crimes, we order that the book Dialogue by Galileo Galilei be prohibited by public edict.
We condemn you to formal imprisonment in this Holy Office at our pleasure. As a salutary penance we impose on you to recite the seven penitential Psalms once a week for the next three years. And we reserve the authority to moderate, change, or condone wholly or in part the above-mentioned penalties and penances.
This is why I believe it takes both--unaltered and uncompromised--to fully understand ourselves and the world we live in. Why the two "must" be in opposition I will never understand, and I find it to be a terrible and unnecessary battle.

So are all atheists assholes... or just the major ones?
If they thought they had all the answers, why would they be Scientists?Scientists who think they have all the answers
I have no problem with religion at all. I have a problem when people call me a selfish asshole for being atheist.
The only christians I've met all have asked me if I believe in god. When I reply no but say I respect all peoples faiths they nearly ripped my face off. I HATE those kind of people.
You can think whatever you want to think, but don't try to kill me because I don't think god is real.

I have two things to say about that. One: In a sense, that person is being hypocritical. That person(which I will refer to as Todd) is doing the same thing that he said the religious people he was talking about are doing.
^^ This is true. The term used should be "organized religion." Religion is seldom harmful on an individual level, but seldom helpful on an industrial level.![]()
Yes, "dogmatic" or "extremist" would be appropriate labels.
