I fail to see how this can be.
I also don't quite agree with your assumption that atheists have a love for "being right, damn it!". That is a very prejudiced view, and if that view was projected towards any of the mainstream religions, your previous post might well have been deleted and you would have been infracted for hate speech. Such is the dilemma, double standards, intolerance and prejudice faced by atheists. Somehow, it's all right to knock atheists about, but if you would insult any single religion on the same terms, your goose would be cooked.
Ironically, atheism is the only one of the lot able to logically justify its existence.
And besides that, as you wrote, the only reason atheists have a problem with religion, is that for some reason believers shy away from seriously discussing their scriptures with atheists. There is no way you'll get an objective discussion where a believer will discuss this universe on an objective, evidence-based manner without dragging in magical elements for which absolutely no, zip, zero evidence exist. And that irks atheists, because there is simply no discussing it any further once the magical fairies are blamed for the creation of the Universe.
The atheists, however, don't have a "I'm right, damn it!" attitude beyond what is presented by religion, because the dismissal of religion is what defines an atheist. Everything else falling outside the scope of religion can be discussed and criticized fairly, without you being beaten over the head with self-righteous indignation. For some reason religion is the no-go area for criticism. And once you start doing it in a rational manner, dissecting the realities of any chosen scripture, you will draw out the religious trolls
en masse.
Is my current post an example of an atheist troll?
No. Because everything I said here can be
supported rationally.
Religious trollers will spout
unsupportable rubbish in their fight for their invisible friend - and there's the distinction.
