It isn't naive, it is fact.
It's naive, not a fact. I know dozens of people who have read the Bible, who have studied religion, people who have dedicated their lives to this, and they are atheists. Hmmmmmmmmmmm. Is it just me or does that mean that you can still be an atheist even if you've read the Bible and understand what it means?
I've met very few atheists on this site, and abroad, who have not been a bully to the faithful geek.

You were bullied by humans, not by Atheists, it would seem.
Pwnd?
The difference is between 'reading' and 'studying'. You can read anything, you can read the stop on the stop sign...Of course we all know what happens when you don't apply it.
Even if you study the Bible (like some of those I mentioned a little bit up) you can still be an Atheist afterwards. In fact, you cannot find what's wrong in the Bible without studying it.
Reading != studying-applying = knowing it.
Reading != study-applying = knowing it.
What kind of fail math is that? And you call yourself a geek?
Translated to English (this is directly translated) : Reading is not equal to the subtraction of applying from study equals knowing it.
Wtf, why isolate a quote?
How does stating the truth equal to bullying? Even if I say that politicians are doing it wrong I'm not bullying, I'm stating a fact.
Ah yes...the source of your issue with it. You feel "denied pleasures". In my experience, the more I grow with God, the greater, and better, I experience life.
I don't feel denied pleasures. Where the f*ck did you get that from? I take pleasure from knowing that people actually believe something which have been heavily altered and is missing crucial pieces. It's seriously really funny. It's like telling a child the story about superman, but instead say he was a ugly little bastard who liked to bully people and then see that the child actually believe it.
This is full of errors I'm afraid. Really, I can't quite put my arm into how deep this is to even pull you out. But I will try:
"Because the DaVinci Code isn't Truth."
What I find funny is that the Da Vinci* (you missed a space) Code is based on facts, but also that it's not only the Da Vinci code which states this, but books which were written down at the same time the other books were and are just as reliable as the books which are in the Bible. Which means that if you deny those, you must also deny the other books (which again means you must deny the Bible).
I find it strange that you believe in all of that, but you won't even look at the actual bible without sneering.
That book (The Da Vince Code) is actually more historically accurate than your book (The Bible).
Your choice is your own, thank God for free-will. But for the 'lies', I can only say, that the bully in my example uses the same tone you have used.
Thank god? Thank the human brain, thank the frikken evolution of man (which, if you count in the evolution of our predecessors too, happened over billions of years).
Ah yes! Just what The Bully said:
"I am right, you are wrong, this is truth, this is reality."
-The Bully
And you're saying the same. No matter what your intentions are with it you're still saying the same frikken thing. There is NO way around that.
Scientist != Atheist. An Atheist can be a scientist, just as a Christian, Jew, Buddhist, Wiccan, Deist, Hindu, Muslim, Native American Spiritualist...need I go on? - Can be.
Even though Atheist doesn't necessarily mean you're a scientist you can't be a religious man and say you are one. Because if you're religious you have to deny a lot of what you find out since they contradict your beliefs, and if you don't you're not religious. You can be a so called "Religious Scientist", but that isn't the same as being a scientist.
"You're stupid! I am superior to you, I am stronger, bigger, smarter, and better than you are, I know more, I know facts, I know theories, I know best. Your ideas, your games, anything you find fun is stupid, anything you know is stupid."
"When I grow up, I will be far better off than you will be."
Those two are according to you both yourself and a bully you're talking to, but both are bullies. Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.
And why do you call yourself a geek? A geek is one who likes math, science, physics and especially computers. You can't like all those and still be religious since two of them contradict religion. How can you like something which contradicts all you believe? Oh, and some of the stuff used in computers are based on quantum
physics. I'm a geek btw.
Edit: Omg, you guys are too active. You made over a whole page while I was preparing this.
