Why Are You Atheists So Angry? - Greta Christina
It's natural that atheists proselytize, because atheism is a religion:
http://www.scribd.com/doc/6034949/Atheism-Is-Protected-As-a-Religion-says-Court-
It has its own creation story:
"Thus, a century ago, [it was] Darwinism against Christian orthodoxy. To-day the tables are turned. The modified, but still characteristically Darwinian theory has itself become an orthodoxy, preached by its adherents with religious fervour, and doubted, they feel, only by a few muddlers imperfect in scientific faith."
Grene, Marjorie [Professor Emeritus of Philosophy, University of California, Davis], "The Faith of Darwinism," Encounter, Vol. 74, November 1959, pp.48-56, p.49
with its own miracles:
"Time is, in fact, the hero of the plot... given so much time the 'impossible' becomes possible, the possible probable and the probable virtually certain. One has only to wait: time itself performs miracles."
George Wald, "The Origin of Life," Physics and Chemistry of Life, 1955, p. 12.
In which its adherants have total faith:
I have faith and belief myself... I believe that nothing beyond those natural laws is needed. I have no evidence for this. It is simply what I have faith in and what I believe.
Isaac Asimov
Counting the Eons P.10
I do not want to believe in God, therefore I choose to believe in that which I know is scientifically impossible: spontaneous generation arising to evolution
George Wald - Harvard Professor
Nobel Laureate
They believe it even in the face of contradicting evidence
Biologists must constantly keep in mind that what they see was not designed but rather evolved.
Francis Crick Nobel Laureate
What Mad Pursuit p.138 1988
Much evidence can be adduced in favor of the Theory of Evolution from Biology, Biogeography, and Paleontology, but I still think that to the unprejudiced the fossil record of plants is in favor of special creation.
EJH Cornor, Cambridge
Contemporary Botanical Thought p.61
It provides a comprehensive belief system:
Evolution is promoted by its practitioners as more than mere science. Evolution is promulgated as an ideaology, a secular religion- a full-fledged alternative to Christianity, with its meaning and morality...
Michael Ruse Florida State University
National Post 5/13/00
Atheists know they are right no matter what:
No evidence would be sufficient to create a change in mind; that it is not a commitment to evidence, but a commitment to naturalism. ...Because there are no alternatives, we would almost have to accept natural selection as the explanation of life on this planet even if there were no evidence for it.
Steven Pinker MIT
How the mind works p.182
Even if they have to suppress the truth to prove it:
"Our willingness to accept scientific claims that are against common sense is the key to an understanding of the real struggle between science and the supernatural. We take the side of science in spite of the patent absurdity of some of its constructs, in spite of its failure to fulfill many of its extravagant promises of health and life, in spite of the tolerance of the scientific community for unsubstantiated just-so stories, because we have a prior commitment, a commitment to materialism. It is not that the methods and institutions of science somehow compel us to accept a material explanation of the phenomenal world, but, on the contrary, that we are forced by our a priori adherence to material causes to create an apparatus of investigation and a set of concepts that produce material explanations, no matter how counter-intuitive, no matter how mystifying to the uninitiated. Moreover, that materialism is absolute, for we cannot allow a Divine Foot in the door."
Lewontin, Richard C. [Professor of Zoology and Biology, Harvard University], "Billions and Billions of Demons", Review of "The Demon-Haunted World: Science as a Candle in the Dark," by Carl Sagan, New York Review, January 9, 1997. (Emphasis in original)
"In fact the a priori reasoning is so entirely satisfactory to me that if the facts won't fit in, why so much the worse for the facts is my feeling."
Erasmus Darwin, in a letter to his brother Charles, after reading his new book, "The Origin of Species," in Darwin, F., ed., "The Life of Charles Darwin," [1902], Senate: London, 1995, reprint, p215.
They are true believers:
of all choices, atheism requires the greatest faith, as it demands that ones limited store of human knowledge is sufficient to exclude the possibility of God.

It won't be long before there are atheists churches and street preachers handing out tracks.

Landslide takes out an entire port in Brazil
Neatorama says: "On October 17th, a landslide destroyed the pier at Chibatão Port on the Amazon River in Brazil. This video from a security camera shows the destruction as it happened. The river had been at it lowest level since records started being kept in 1902. A cracked developed along the river bank and cargo containers were sucked down as the banks collapsed"

Weed And Driving
^Wrong again, my friend. I never mentioned that I thought you were a marijuana user. I was referring to other comments made by... potheads. I'm sorry if you felt wrongly accused.
Do you need citations? Okay, here:
If you'd like more examples of how boneheaded this debate is, I will gladly throw a few together when I have 10 more minutes.
Side friction rollercoaster Leap The Dips at Lakemont Park
^In 1902 this attraction must've been thrilling for people.
This video interestingly shows how they used to construct rollercoasters and that people currently laugh at (hear the people behind the camera) such a rollercoaster ride. The noises/friction add to the hilarity I think and nicely contrasts with smooth/silent transportation more and more people are used to.
This ride makes people feel more alive for a while and makes a continuous explicit reference to the workings of technology: it's not hidden somewhere, in a mysterious place - too complex to quickly comprehend, but plain in sight.

From Wiki:
A Trip to the Moon (French: Le Voyage dans la lune) is a 1902 French black and white silent science fiction film. It is loosely based on two popular novels of the time: From the Earth to the Moon by Jules Verne and The First Men in the Moon by H. G. Wells. It was written and directed by Georges Méliès, assisted by his brother Gaston. The film runs 14 minutes if projected at 16 frames per second.
A Trip to the Moon was extremely popular in its day and is the best-known of the hundreds of fantasy films made by Méliès. It is also recognized as the first science fiction film, and utilizes innovative animation and special effects.
