Well you know, these mean nasty anti-theists are out there writing negative things about religion. It's horrible, I tell ya. JUST AS BAD as the religious extremists who murder.

But you see, that's the heart of the matter. There are believers and sympathizers SO DESPERATE to validate their position to themselves that they have to portray themselves in the middle of two equally bad extremes. Thus you have ridiculous exaggerations and embellishments against a quiet English gentleman like Richard Dawkins or outright deceptive out-of-context quoting of Sam Harris.

They're just that desperate. It's sad, really. Some are fun to rankle and mock, others should just be ignored.
