An atheist calling others "arrogant" is like a Jew calling others "cheap swindlers."

Judaism is not a race it is a religion.
I can convert to Judaism, but I can't convert to black.
Fundie Christians using ethnic slurs is like ... um, well, it's pretty much like fundie Christians, actually.
And I'll have you know I'm a very expensive swindler. And arrogant with it.
Congratulations, you've actually said something true. Now let's go about setting you free.
Yes, an atheist calling someone arrogant is exactly like a Jew calling someone a cheap swindler. It can be true if the other person is as described, and it can be hypocritical if the atheist or Jew are themselves arrogant or a cheap swindler. But atheists are no more innately arrogant than Jews are innate swindlers, so as an aphorism it as meaningless as saying it's like a Christian calling others "stupid", or a Californian calling others "shallow", or an Alabaman calling others "in-bred", or any other scurrilous stereotype.

I'm not the one forcing my belief down the throats of others who don't want it. Besides, 'Right-wing American Fundie' and 'Arrogant' are mutually exclusive, are they not?
And my sister works for a company owned by a Jewish family. They employ Muslims too. They pay their employees very well, with bonuses (their motto: 'Happy employees are productive employees'. She gets a paid holiday twice a year. A few months ago, they presented her with a £1500 Rolex watch for being with them 10 years, with no days off (even though she & everyone at said company gets comprehensive private medical/dental coverage via BUPA). Anti-Semitic, much?
Besides, if you want to see the difference between Atheism and Christianity, re. 'Arrogance', just watch the documentary "The Root of all Evil?". Richard Dawkins. Ted Faggard. Compare & contrast.
So only atheists can be arrogant? You know, not like the people who have bumper stickers that say, "Christians aren't perfect, just forgiven."
"having or showing feelings of unwarranted importance out of overbearing pride"
Well, I'm probably the furthest thing from arrogant (unfortunately pathologically so), and the Jews I know are rather generous, so your generalization is completely useless.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
