Antitheist. I guess I've just never liked been told what to think.

Good, means you're thinking for yourself. :)

And yet they have to suspend their critical thinking skills in order to hold ridiculous beliefs. Yes, Religious people can be sensible and intelligent, but consciously adopting ideas that are demonstrably ridiculous is not sensible and intelligent.

I'm inclined to agree with JWP, actually. Everyone is free to come to their own conclusions. I simply don't give a single f**k what other people think, as long as they're not pushing their opinion on others or using their beliefs as excuses for reprehensible behaviour. And of course having faith doesn't stop you thinking for yourself - although it's my opinion that many people do use religion as an excuse not to think, that's clearly not everyone.

And atheists can be sensible and intelligent, also.  Pity a lot of seem to be smug judgemental arseholes, though.

You've hit the nail on the head as to why I don't call myself an Athiest with that one, SM.

I can only speak for myself, but if I seem judgemental at times, it's because I do not respect a certain point in the same way many others will. I do not believe willing, ritualized suspension of logic is something to be accepted and respected.

Ideas must earn respect. Awarding respect to a belief just because 'it's important to someone' is not something I can do.

Anything structured or organized in the way religion or politics can be is not something I can trust.
