Like these ones:

I'm not sure the religious side wants to accuse the other side of being condescending. And yes I understand not every believer is like that. But most were at some point, and many still are today.
Agreed. I just find it funny that the very thing that "atheists" seem to despise about organized religion is something is something that they themselves seem to be doing now, by organizing and getting their message out there.

In the end, neither side of the debate has any proof of being correct. I really think the only way we ever find out is when we bite the dust. And when that happens, I choose to have faith that I'll be hangin with the space fairy..or something.
