"The Amazing Atheist", although seemingly in a state of perpetual rage, is actually quite a calm and thoughtfull person. His angry and offensive manner is merely for entertainment's sake. If you were to actually watch several of his videos you'd find that most of his positions are sound, if debatable. "Maybe if you listened to what I was saying, you'd understand what the fuck I was angry about" - The Amazing Atheist The volume of someone’s voice or the language that they use does not determine the validity of their argument.

That's a guy with some issues. Actually, it strikes me that he's a bad spokesman for atheism, in part, because I doubt his sincerity, at least in the sense that if he found something that sounded more "dangerous" he might jump ship to that. In short, he's wearing atheism like a pair of clothes to proclaim his outsider status. As for you being angry -- hah! Sarcastic, yes, but in very funny ways. More importantly, whatever anger you've displayed has a point, and that's fine. You're railing against ugly ideas and injustices, instead of just, well, everything and everyone.

It kinda bothers me when I read on other blogs about how I'm an "angry atheist." I'm not fucking angry. That guy? Now, he's angry. And I have no idea why. Yunshui, mega ouch.
