Where the Christians are arrogant and the atheists are just as arrogant but are mad at the Christians for being so arrogant?

But I'm used to RRS (Rational Response Squad)

Yes but you need to spell it out for a little better and qualify it with a some or most, so as not to imply that ALL feel this way.
Some Atheists see some Christians as arrogant because the Christians believe that Jesus is the "only way" and that anyone who can't see that will burn forever.
Some Christians see atheist as arrogant because atheists don't believe in there is a higher power.

I don't see much arrogance among the atheists.
We have correct arguments and are aware of that fact. There's nothing arrogant in that. Right and wrong are not equivalent. Sorry if that fact kicks the legs out from under the Christians' stance, but that's the way it is.
--------------------
Sep, it's arrogant to "speak what you believe" when your beliefs are false (like belief in the existence of gods) and you pretend that they're true. Now, if you acknowledge that your beliefs are based in pure faith - that you have no evidence and therefore that there's nothing wrong or foolish about disagreeing with your beliefs - then you've sidestepped arrogance and established yourself as a decent believer.
But that's _extremely_ rare among believers. The vast majority are terribly arrogant, insisting not only that their false beliefs are true, but that it's foolish to think otherwise. There's also a tremendous amount of lying done in support of religious belief, and willful ignorance of the facts.
Manta, there is nothing remotely arrogant in what I wrote here. You're either deliberately missing the point or you're not bright enough to follow it. Either way you owe me an apology.

I believe in God.
I'm arrogant. The atheists are arrogant. We're all arrogant.
Just trying to have a little anarchist fun. So what?
No ones getting hurt. It all stays "in the house".

"Truth", as pertaining to both groups you speak of is not arrogance. What is "truth" it is merely perceived differently. I am a Christian, I don't see that the majority of atheist's that post here are arrogant, they just don't believe as I believe, or vice versa. Neither do I see it as arrogance if I post what I perceive to be true.

Why is it arrogant to speak what we believe? I don't get it.
Someone asks an opinion, we share our opinion.
Personally, I don't think the atheists are arrogant.
I feel like they are empty and searching for meaning and peace for their life that they could have if they knew the TRUTH.

No it doesn't. Your description is far too simple and constrained - the interplay here is much more complex than that. This reduction of argument and concept is one of the very big problems of R&S.

That does describe a portion of this section.
Some, however, are quite honest and sincere.
