The thing that gets me about a lot of the New Atheist heroes and
   the way they talk about religion - they're like George Carlin or
   Monty Python... but without the funny. I was raised with Carlin
   and Monty Python. They had fun with the absurdities of religion.
   Made people laugh. I mean, anybody over the age of 11 knows the
   absurdities in various religious things - or at least their own.
   But it's one thing to go "yeah, haha - silliness, eh?" and
   another to make it a personal missions to educate-the-world. I
   guess 'cause I've heard it all before, I don't know why ppl
   still get excited over it. So many times I'll read a long
   rambling piece just to hear at the end, "AND THAT'S WHY RELIGION
   NEEDS TO GO AWAY". Then another piece with the same conclusion,
   "AND THAT'S WHY RELIGION IS BAD". and the like... and it's
   like.. ok ok, I get it. You no like it. Ok....
