Is it a natural and necessary reaction to BS, like the daily show and the colbert report is to the bush administration?

That's pretty much it, yeah. There's a certain point after which things become so blatantly absurd that there's no point in trying to explain the truth or have a rational conversation; all that's left for doing is humor and mockery.

Why do so many people make these comments about atheists. I don't think that we are always sarcastic. Well, sometimes, but, it isn't only atheists, I think it's New Yorkers that are sarcastic. And being sarcastic about the Bush administration is just a natural and easy thing to do. How can you not make fun of such an idiot.

For the same reason that religious people are sarcastic. You tend to be sarcastic towards whatever you disagree with. Generally speaking, atheists are no more sarcastic than anyone else.

I think it's a natural consequence of thinking you're better than other people. That is, sarcasm and belittling other people. Atheists are arrogant enough to think that they can prove the non-existence of something. I mean, that right there should tell you their heads are too big for their shoulders :)

Why are theists sarcastic? The only un-sarcastic people are devotees of the FSM, for only thus may they be blessed by His noodly appendage.

Brilliant! I am so awed by your mindless attempt at sarcasm that I just may have to become an atheist.
NOT!
Atheism is a myth.
I'm also awed by the great intelligence of the atheist who answered thinking that you were slamming atheist and didn't see your obvious attempt as sarcasm against christians. You guys are killing me. My face is hurting from smiling to much.

I'm sarcastic but i don't think you can lump all atheists in one category because a few are sarcastic. Because that would be like me saying "why are christians tightwads?"

Don't generalize. ... But a little sarcasm can go a long way (on all sides of a question, including the theistic side, here.)

Because they like to think that it is smart to not believe and they think that little sarcastic remarks prove they are clever and intelligent. It's their source of pride.
