7.) The Art of War by Sun Tsu (eBook – Audio Book) - “to learn that the act of killing fellow humans can be raised to an art.”
Not even close, hippie. In fact, Sun Tzu specifically states that defeating an enemy on the field is a secondary victory while subduing your opponent without warfare is proof of real skill.

I disagree strongly in general.

"It is not that I am mad, it is only that my head is different from yours."
"Other dogs bite only their enemies, whereas I bite also my friends in order to save them."
"Hmm, if we offer sacrifice to the rain gods, the crops won't suck ... well, unless we pissed off the gods more than usual."
It's just inverted now.
"Hmm, if we offer sacrifice reduce carbon emissions now to the rain gods in the atmosphere, the crops climate won't suck ... well, unless we pissed off the gods climate more than usual by doing something else."

Yeah, I was thinking something similar.
I am not exactly the world's most religious man, but lately the "I'm a cool anti-religious science liberal guy!" thing just annoys the shit out of me.
I agree. There seems to be much more proselytizing of atheists against Christianity than the other way around. At least in what we're fed via media.
I'll leave other religions out of it because the most vocal anti Christian atheists are far to cowardly to go after Islam the way they go after Christians.
