I assert nothing and have no personal belief. I simply don't believe that gods exist because I've not found sufficient evidence for them. How is that a "position of anger"?

Let me rewrite that:
I assert nothing and have no personal belief. ASSERTION: I simply don't believe(I.E. PERSONAL BELIEF) that gods exist because I've not found sufficient evidence for them. How is that a "position of anger"?

What is the difference between not knowing, not having sufficient evidence; and the opposite of knowing, i.e. agnosticism?

And you do assert. And you do have personal beliefs. And, I'd check to see if you are really angry with me or some prior posting.

NEXT:

Yes, I think the position is an anger. You don't. I do. Okay.

NEXT:

No. I do not support theists acting out of anger. Nor are they necessarily acting out of anger because they exist. Understand that theists do not exist solely because there exist atheists, but atheists DO ONLY exist because there are theists.

EXAMPLE:

Passing a law based on one religion's view is against our Constitution and against what America is about -- to me at least.

DONE.

Let's all realize as well that we are all angry at our government... at least.

I'd really prefer the fundies would be on OUR SIDE where they belong, their prior party slain with truth. Not the fundies slain. As Republicans took the racist south, we could take the religiously devout AND WIN. That's what I want.

I want the petty grenade throwing to end. It just scares them away from us.
