....constantly belittle people of faith as "believing in fairy tales and myths"?

"Shouldn't they just be smiling, knowing to themselves that the other person is deluded and will be shown that they are wrong eventually?"

I have yet to meet an atheist who refers to a believers faith in any other way but derogatory. Believe, don't believe, personally, I could care less.

However, I am a believer.

Telling me that the basis of my faith is akin to something out of the work of Grimm or Aesop or Dr. Seuss or Walt Disney is just as insulting as if I were to tell you that you were destined for hell for your lack of faith.

Bunch of sensitive, insecure yay-hoos you atheists are.... always trying to win people over to your side.
