It's always the same. Atheists(of a certain kind) like to make a big show of how their lofty intelligence must be proclaimed to inform the ignorant. How dare you insult their reason with your pathetic holidays and beliefs. It causes them great distress and discomfort for you to not believe and recognize their superiority over your pathetic mind. How can you not change your world to accommodate them?

They just seem like horribly selfish people to me. Always ridiculing others with a "bearded or sandled sky god" with no grasp of any other dimension than their own importance. Pray for them.

I have a couple "seeker" Atheist friends who are nice, personable people. I can accept that, if not be happy about it. At least they're showing a sincere effort at understanding.

I also know a few people, no longer friends, who bask in the superiority of their Atheism, talk pseudo-intellectual nonsense, and God help you if you disagree. I had one guy who, whenever I disagreed, sent me wikipedia articles specifying my intellectual impediment.

I have a friend, actually he is the son of a very old friend of mine. This young man graduated from West Point and proceeded to serve out the majority of his time in both Afghanistan and Iraq in a combat role as an Infantry Officer, eventually gaining a company command. He is highly decorated. Once he as a 1LT he was serving as XO (2nd in command of his rifle company) and saw his commander shot thru the neck right in front of him and die. He had to take over the battle which he did and won! The man is a verified hero. As are all of our troops who serve in harms way. I and others prayed for him constantly. He ridiculed us, but in a patient way as one would speak to a small somewhat retarded child. Now he's out of the army and in law school. I was always a little envious of him. He got to do what I always trained to do but never had the opportunity. I'm just an EX-SOLDIER, not a combat veteran. By the time 911 popped, I was just a broken down older wannabe warhorse. Too overweight and physically messed up to serve in any capacity. Despite having three letters from serving brigade commanders that they'd each take me onto their staffs sight unseen in 25 years, despite any disabilities that could and would be waived. That made me feel good (that those men all remembered me from active duty and recognized that I was good at my job, then) but the army still said "no." That's kinda why I feel under qualified to tell this young man about God's love and salvation. I feel it should be somebody of similar experience and decorations, if that makes any sense.
