Yea, ok, I am a little self centered, I admit it. But I don't think that is an affliction relegated to atheists.
However, as an atheist/secularist we admit freely that we don't know a whole ton of things. It is the religious douchebags, kind of like SalutetheHeavens, that say they have all the answers even though they have no evidence for the positions, let along anything resembling proof.
We're not nearly as close minded as those who want to imprison, extradite or even kill everybody who doesn't agree with their view of things. And it's only non-existent anyones or anythings that we don't ever answer to. And we don't claim to know everything because a silly old book of bad fairytales just isn't the sum total of all knowledge.
Most of the things I don't know won't hurt me, and the ones that will I'm probably happier not knowing about beforehand.
Humans are self centered, mostly.
What's this "athiest" you talk about. Can you be athier too? What's the first form? Ather?

Um...WHO are the ones who believe we were made special by God, given everything on this planet to use and abuse as we see fit, and indeed the universe itself revolves around us personally?
...close minded...
You believe gays shouldn't marry BECAUSE YOU PERSONALLY DISAGREE WITH IT. Not to mention thinking it will destroy society for vague, nebulous reasons not worth going into, because you pastor says so.
...don't want to answer to anyone or anything...
The law, perhaps? Not to mention, you guys are the ones who think you can do whatever the fuck you want, giggle, say a few magic words and you're right with Jesus again.
Cuz, y'know, not perfect, but forgiven.
...and admit what they don't know wont hurt them...
Because not knowing about antibiotics never hurt us. Or basic sanitation...not knowing about that never hurt us either. Knowledge helps us immeasurably, far more than a few Hail Marys ever did.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
