Anyone who truly thinks less of someone for being an atheist is even dumber 1. You cannot prove or disprove the existence of a god.
2. Thinking less of someone for their spiritual beliefs or their lack of spiritual belief is retarded.
3. You are just as close minded as religious conservatives.

My answer to Jehovas Witnesses is always so simple: if my parents had been Jehovas Witnesses I'd be dead, since they don't allow blood transfusions and I once needed one when I was ~2.5 years old. They just shut up, look a bit confused and walk away.

That being said I don't believe in any god whatsoever. Neither does my dad, thankfully. And my mom is only a light version of a believer, she perfectly understand people who don't believe.

- my brother in law in one week got 3 or 4 different religious nuts show up his door, mormons, jehovas, and assorted protestants.. he was fed up with it and decided to do something about it - the sneaky guy gave them all a specific appointment and insisted he wanted to speak to the ministers etc.. after he called his local priest and rabbi too insisting on an "interesting" invitation with a lot of "potential".. none new who else was going to be invited.. when they finally all showed up, he set up the grill, started the debate and just sat back and enjoyed the show..

isn't apathy one of the stages of being an atheist? no that's an agnostic the atheist at least opts to chose a side.
no
agnosticism claims that all these little squabbles over proof or disproof are over things that are unknown and always will be
an apathetic is indifferent to what people believe
my point was that all the good-natured logic in every atheist will eventually turn into apathy when they realize all the good-natured logic in the world isn't going to change anyone's mind

My friend's parents have always been JWs and recently he met this chick (who I assume is religious/JW) and he totally converted to their beliefs and became a douche. He deleted all his porn and calls it pollution. He says him and his gf are not gonna have sex until marriage and all sorts of other illogical bullshit. I haven't hung out with him ever since (because he doesn't come around).
I think Xcetron's family is JW, he knows a lot about their beliefs and stuff.

Idiots do. Not real people. Dawkins carries around his own brand of idolatry which is almost as obnoxious as having your doorbell rung.

Kind of like the greek philosophers who believed that they could understand the universe by sitting in a cave using nothing but pure logic and deduction. More often than not, when you actually get out there and measure something your paradigm changes (thats the story of science (nature) anyway....that what you think you understand is pretty much guaranteed to be completely wrong).

I bet it would be really funny and interesting if you got a rep of each major religion (christian, JW,mormon,islam,jew, hindu, bhuddism,scientology-lol) and got them all in a room where you tell them you are an agnostic and you want to convert to a new religion.
I could see them fighting over you and with each other and generally serving the purpose of discrediting religion as a whole.
I think the biggest difference between athieism and agnosticism is that athiest have BELIEFS that religion is bullshit and will probably try and 'convert' religious people to athiesm. Agnostics generally just don't give a fuck. So athieism is a pseudo-religion in itself.
Also some agnostics believe in a higher power but just don't know what to make of it or how to be in touch with it. Athiests generally and totally do not.

To me it's extremely funny how the idea of an invisible allmighty power guiding everything has become so ingrained in our culture that it would need "disproving". Unicorns don't need "disproving" do they?
I had a really funny experience with a lady from JW once. Me and a couple of friends were standing at a train station when she came up to us and started handing out pamphlets. While we politely glanced in them (stupid stories about how you without "god" in your life will become most unhappy) she asked one of the girls "Do you belive in god?" And she's like, "Yea sure I'll belive in him if he can get me a good girlfriend". The lady just stares at her silently for like 10-20 seconds before silently muttering "I'll pray for you my child" and walking away. We almost doubbled over with laughter :p
