General Petraeus was the commanding general of Fort Campbell when I was stationed there. I shook his hand a few times. Random fact :-)

I see you mentioned church, unfortunately that's true, wish it wasn't. I went into an atheist forum one time and got worse than name calling and swearing. I got one long speech declaring World War three on me. Don't feel like going back anytime soon.

I quoted Richard Dawkins in an essay I did for English were he said anyone who doesn't believe evolution is a fact is either "stupid, insane or wicked" I read letters posted online were Creationists have been called liars,little maggots, and even when they challenged The New Atheism convention to a debate, they said no and one of the speakers they contacted replied with a picture of Jesus putting up the middle finger.

"Legal form of insanity" is another one I heard for belief in God too. That's really most of what the new atheism movement is, an obsessive hatred for religion and having a talent for name calling.

My mind immediately jumps to the comments by former president Jimmy Carter regarding his belief that racism is at the heart of people's disagreement with the president on anything.
