Let us save our effort and just lie down and die. 
@ Enchilado: Perhaps I did stereotype, but from my experience and observation these points do typically ring true. No, I don't think that atheists are innately malicious - no more so then anyone else. What I do notice is that actions speak louder then words and even though the end justifies the means to some extent, the atheist "end" seems rather hopeless and sterile; there comes a point in ones life that one realizes trees are more beautiful then skyscrapers.

In this response I will briefly justify the embattled "stereotyping." Stereotyping, in my understanding, is synonymous with identifying normality in X. It is different to "prejudice" which, as the word's components ("Pre-", meaning "before"; "-Judge", meaning "analyse according to law")indicate, is to pass an assumption on X without understanding it.

In other news, I ended up procuring Stephen Jay Gould's "Life's Grandeur" (look out, I'll be waving the "two magisteriums" banner any minute, now! ) and Steve Jones' "The Origin of the Species, Updated".

@ Skull: I respect you for believing in extra-terrestrial intervention - two of the greatest fantasy writers of the modern age shared this belief: Robert E. Howard (Conan the Barbarian, Solomon Kane, Kull) and his compatriot H.P. Lovecraft (Cthulu mythos, other horror stories).
