I am not saying that ALL atheists are jerks, but your likelihood of jerkiness certainly goes up.
These guys are definitely jerks.
PADUA, Italy, Jan. 3 (UPI) — An Italian mountaineering group protesting “narcissistic” acts in the wilderness said it placed a garden gnome in the place of a stolen Virgin Mary statue.
The group said members put the gnome in the place of the statue atop Mt. Pirio, near Padua, but denied any involvement in the theft of the statue, ANSA reported Monday.
The group has campaigned against “narcissistic” acts in the wilderness, including the installation of the Mary statue by a group of Catholic climbers.
The Catholic group said the statue theft was reported to police.
Even if they had nothing to do with the original theft, why the compulsion to mock?
John Lennon said “Imagine there is no heaven…and no religion too.”
Can you imagine a whole planet full of these jerks?

Regrettably, imagination is not necessary as all of us are fallen.

Sorry this is off-topic, but I am sharing this with as many people as I can:
PRO-LIFE ALERT!
Pregnancy centers in NYC are under attack from the "NYC Council Intro Bill 371-2010," which seeks to force these centers to advertise what they don't do, assist with contraception and post signs if a dr is not present. Penalties are severe, including imprisonment. Similar bills are being introduced elsewhere in the country. Please see my blog for further details and appropriate links, including a link to the petition against this bill. You do not need to live in NYC to sign the petition. Please note, action on this is time-sensitive. Thank you.

"Why the compulsion to mock?" Perhaps because it's eminently mockable!
