Maybe you should get out more often. Atheists are no more angry than anyone else, they are just angry about different things than believers. 

  I find it amusing when people, like yourself, come to the conclusion atheists must be mad at god. Do you get mad at the guy on the box of Lucky Charms because leprechauns aren't real? I can't even say I know beyond a doubt there isn't some kind of creator, no reasonable person can IMO. I can say there is no proof of a creator that I am aware of. I'm open to any evidence anyone may have. As for the god represented by any of the religions I know of, all I can say is I am glad none of them is real because they all seem to much like asshole human beings or an alcoholic abusive parent.

 I don't go through life always angry, I think I have a pretty good sense of humor. I do at times get angry that religious people think it's okay to force their belief systems on me and my family in a government/society that should consider everyone on a level play field. I sometimes get angry that progress is hindered in advancements of things like stem cell research because people can't grasp where religion came from. Stem Cell treatment is saving lives and making the quality of life better for people now, it is a proven treatment. No one was ever harvesting babies in the name of stem cell research. When religion was used to stop research it caused the death and suffering of an untold number of people, all because of ignorance. I wonder if you can say nothing makes you angry. Anger is useful at times, it can be harmful but anything is if you overdo it.

  It's been 2000 years (or more) we have been falling for the grandest marketing scheme known to man (also called jesus christ) it's been long enough. It's time to wake the fuckup. If anyone wants to live their life pretending the creator of the universe wrote a book full of hypocrisy , allowed that book to be manipulated/translated/interpreted  by numerous men over thousands of years, and then expects them to use it as a guide on how to live, then they can do that. It is a personal private choice, they should keep it that way, leave me the hell out of it. I use the same logic when considering all aspects of my life, including my birth and my death.

 I will admit there is no ground breaking insight into the meaning of life or the existence of god in this podcast but I never made that claim did I? You really seem to think you know a lot about atheists when in fact you don't, sorry.
