What you don't see is me being good humoured and well meaning with all the nonsense people like that spout. I am sure many other Atheist will agree with me here.
We are conditioned to believe that Faith and belief has some magical power to be above criticism! It's above ridicule, and it's above mockery.
However when someone comes along who believes something that actually has proof, and not just "faith" well they get that taken from them mercilessly, and underneath all the pleasantry and clever arguments it comes down to one thing.
Godlessness. You can call it a lack of faith. Egoism. Anger. When it gets down to it, those who believe in something outside themselves: The Universe, God, The Force etc...think they have moral superiority to someone who defines their morals on self interest and personal thought.
And well...I laugh! I laugh about myself all the time, I laugh at how silly some of my beliefs were, and I laugh at things that others just can't see the humour in! BUT, unfortunately its not much fun not being able to laugh at anyone else when they can laugh at me.
