It says a lot about the Christian mindset when domestic terrorists like Robertson and Falwell are the mouthpieces for Christianity.

atheists seem angry because there are some issues but I dont believe they are angrier than the general population:
1) you are in the closet because the default belief in this country is Christian; it is assumed that you have some moral deficits because the christians need a book to define whats right and wrong and they can't see how you would know better without such guidance.
2) angry because you finally had a real moment of clarity and feel that you have been lied to for years. I look back and wonder if the preachers really believe what they are preaching? Just as politicians have a whole system of real beliefs that they do not convey to the general population.

I think you should watch him more often so you can kind of get him in context. Don't just listen to what others tell you. That's second hand information. Just like watching the 700 Club daily, you should also pick up a Bible and read it-Start with John or Romans. Don't just listen to people telling you this stuff. I say this because I have NEVER seen Pat Robertson out of control . Sure he's firm about what he believes but angry? Someone's lying to you...and satan is the father of lies.

Two words: Public Relations.
Christians are often represented in fictional movies and songs as being the "good guys" and what not. Ever hear the turn of phrase "but it was the Christian thing to do" when what the person really meant was it was the right thing to do?

I am a Christian and Pat Robertson does not represent me.
He actually represents a small minority of Christians.
All of my beliefs are in the Catechism of the Catholic Church.
No ambiguity there.
Peace!

I am a Christian but I certainly don't feel like Pat Robertson represents me. I feel no connection to him whatsoever and if what he represents is not appropriate and not Christ-like, then I am glad that he does not represent me.

I don't believe we have such a reputation. Unless you are talking about the very small microcosm that is Yahoo R&S. But the anger here is still stronger from the Theists than from Atheists I think.

Athiesists and Believers are both judge to be like the most vocal people in their respective camps. There are angry, intolerant people on both sides of this debate, but sadly they are the ones that make themsleves heard. Somebody above says live and let live, I couldn't agree more.

Aethiests ARE generally angry. The reason is because their viewpoint is so logical and believable and consistent that it frightens religionists. Makes them feel superstitious. Makes them feel that their thinking might be stultified. All this results in a vocal backlash against aethiests which makes them angry

The bible states many times that God is an angry God. This Loving stuff is a new marketing ploy, Robertson is just following God's examples set forth in the Old Testament

It makes me angry when people attempt to deceive, whether through ignorance or intent. If you woke up tomorrow and found everything you were led to believe was hog wash, wouldn't you be a little pissed off?
