We were formally the monster under the bed, now we loom above those hiding beneath their covers.

Atheism is a myth. How can a myth be a monster under my bed? Sheesh!

Two weekends ago, when I cleaned out the cavernous space underneath my Victorian four-poster bed. Sorry, but I had to replace the old monster with something. It was just too lonely under there.
Now if I could just get Dawkins to stop grabbing my ankles as I leap into bed!

I have seen this since I came online some 12 years ago. I think the anonymity of the internet allows people (no matter what they believe or do not believe) to feel open to express their feelings or even attack others as they are really no more than names on a screen to them.
It's much harder to do this in person, particularly with people you like and respect.

No monsters under mine, I took my bed off the frame and set it directly on the floor.

When they decided it was a fun sport to attack Christmas every year. Pick your battles. Christmas isn't going anywhere.
Attacking the pledge of allegiance doesn't make them look any smarter, either. Same with trying to get "in God we trust" off of money.
You know, I freely admit Christians have some problems, and some self-appointed spokesmen who don't make us look any smarter to outsiders. But atheists have them too.
My guess is the one thing everyone hates? Evangelists and crusaders of any religion (or lack thereof).
-peace out

In the recent 20/20 piece about an atheist in Oklahoma that was discriminated against the pastors wife says something like "I don't know what atheists believe"... I think that sums it up. It's fear of the unknown.

I believe Socrates started it.
He argued against the idea that the Gods were beyond criticism, and was basically sacrificed by others who thought he had angered the Gods and that they needed to be appeased.

It's not in most of the world. The U.S. is a very strange place and getting stranger by the day.
