As foolish and stubborn as the god-fearing can
be, atheists are, at times, no better.  Both are resolute in their
beliefs, despite their ignorance.

No way. Atheists have logic on their side. Show us evidence and it'll be 
looked into.

"Scientific ideas, like all memes, are subject to a kind of natural 
selection, and this might look superficially virus-like. But the selective 
forces that scrutinize scientific ideas are not arbitrary and capricious. 
They are exacting, well-honed rules, and they do not favor pointless 
self-serving behavior. They favor all the virtues laid out in textbooks of 
standard methodology: testability, evidential support, precision, 
quantifiability, consistency, intersubjectivity, repeatability, 
universality, progressiveness, independence of cultural milieu, and so on. 
Faith spreads despite a total lack of every single one of these virtues."

Both are equally stupid when viewed

from where I am sitting. <

Self-praising.. a long lost virtue.
