What I am sick of is their crying about how abused they are and how they just want equality, but their method is to start a full on war. They don't want equality, they want the extermination of those who are theists. They have come to a "convert to Atheism or we will attack, mock, insult, and embarass you" mentality.

You're right. Atheists are just like Hitler! Screw those guys!

Your turn.

No such thing.
I already provided similar material from LDS.org. Apparently you're selectively blind to this sort of material when it's made by the church.

Why, when you're already doing such a good job all by yourself?
LOL. Ouch.

Right. Keep telling yourself that. And I'll keep my ears closed every time I hear Atheists quoting Dawkings or Maher over and over and pushing books like "The God Dilusion".

I have yet to have ANY missionary do this:
"Hello. Oh are you an Atheist? How stupid are you? You believe the world popped into existance due to Quantum Fluxuations? Boy is that stupid. How can you believe such nonsense? That's stupid. I tell you what. You must not be a freethinker. You let science think for you. Are you unable to consider things for yourself?"
If they did, I'd tell them they were wrong.
The fact you don't understand the difference between what happened at the Reason Rally or the Billboards posted by American Atheists and what you are refering to says a lot about your motives.

Have you ever had a pair of teenage Atheists turn up unannounced on your door step to tell you that whatever it is that you currently believe, it isn't the truth? And then gradually over a period of time convince you that a warm feeling in your tummy is confirmation that Atheism is true? And then over more time convince you that you want to reach the upper echelons of Atheism and that's going to cost you a mere 10% of your monthly income?
Thought not.

Did you catch general conference?
Yet some people erroneously think that these marvelous physical attributes happened by chance or resulted from a big bang somewhere. Ask yourself, “Could an explosion in a printing shop produce a dictionary?” The likelihood is most remote. But if so, it could never heal its own torn pages or reproduce its own newer editions!
