Projecting Ignorance and Inattentiveness

Why are so many theists such pinheads?

Only those who have never paid any attention to what the so called "New Atheists" have been saying for decades (just because you didn't notice them till after 9/11 doesn't mean they weren't around) would find "Richard Dawkins, Famous Atheist, Not Entirely Sure God Doesn't Exist" to be an intelligent headline. Dawkins, like any one with anything resembling critical thinking skills, has always admitted to not being one hundred percent certain of God's non-existence. This is not new. In fact, there are a couple passages in his book the God Delusion that point this uncertainty out. Only ignorant bigots should find this surprising in any way. It is actually not that difficult to grasp the notion that an individual can be confident in a position without being completely certain.

I do not believe in unicorns. There is not a scrap evidence nor the slightest reason to believe in such a creature. Yet, I have not been to every potential habit where such an animal might exist. I cannot definitively disprove it. I can, hypothetically, concede to ways such a creature could exist without believing it does.
I know what a horse is. I have seen creatures with horns. Why couldn't a horse develop a single horn or horn-like appendage? Narwhals look like they have a horn despite it actually being an overgrown protruding tooth. See, it is remotely plausible. Still silly and still not true.

If theists actually paid attention to the arguments atheists have been making for years such moronic headlines would not be so inevitable. Maybe, we could have a decent conversation if fewer theists behaved like such self-deluded malicious assholes with the attention span of gnats.
