"There is no #$%#$@$#%$# god."

Despite being an ardent atheist, I have some real complaints about my fellow non-believers. The Internet has several outspoken atheists, mostly men, but also an attractive young woman. I agree with everything they say, but not with how they say it. For some reason every single one of them seems angry and is incredibly vulgar. Why? If you have the confidence of your beliefs, there is no reason to take a scolding, angry, and vindictive tone. Not to mention that cursing weakens almost any serious debate. I can't see how the generous use of "fuck" and other expletives makes one's argument any clearer. What is with this constant use of obscenities among learned people, including almost all comedians? Is it to make the men seem more manly, the woman more liberated? Or is it just a modern-day habit that these people cannot break, like smoking? It's a pity because it makes otherwise intelligent speakers seems unreasonable and highly neurotic. I just got my first newsletter from the Freedom From Religions Foundation. It is well-written and adult in tone. What a nice change from all these screaming, potty-mouthed Internet atheists.
