Who Do Voodoo?

Sam Harris is the author of, among others, The End of Faith, a most eloquent examination of the crisis between faith-based and rational belief.
Recently he posted an interesting circle graph representing the overlap of terms used to describe three groups - Christians, Muslims, and Atheists.
To (try to) explain: the phrase "Why are Christians so", was entered into the Google search and the results from all three were collated and presented as overlapping circles, the "overlap" representing two or three shared terms.
Here are terms used for atheists: stupid, angry, intolerant, arrogant, hateful, mean, rude.
I've always been arrogant. As arrogant as someone with a self-esteem rating of 0.00 can be.
As in not very.
Intolerant - bullshit.
Rude - never.
Mean - yeah.
Hateful - never. Okay for groups, but not individuals, even in those groups.

Which leaves angry.
Angry with child beaters, wife beaters, adulterers, insurance scammers, and tax cheats telling me I'm going to hell?
Absolutely.
If child molesters, rapists, pornographers, slavers, sodomites (as in bestiality), and hypocrites are made in the image and likeness of god, I pick hell.
Bush (41) said atheists were not citizens, not patriots.
In that spirit, here is a site to tell you how to report them (me) to the FBI:

Even if you don't wish to report me, visit anyway. Surely you can use "5 ways to recognize an atheist." Yes, too, too can tell a book by its cover. Pay special attention to "Atheist have too many college diplomas. "

Seriously, most of my friends and colleagues believe that I'm a good christian not an agnostic. They think that because I'm nice and polite that there is no way I could possibly be anything but a christian.
