If items must either annoy you or not, and you've read 20 of them, you can have 95% of them annoy you, or 100% of them annoy you. 99% of 20 is not an integer. [Of course if you can count some items as some fraction of "annoying" (assuming that means anything), then yes, you could get 99%.] One thing that will irritate this atheist is percentages that can’t possibly be true.

Not that I can't be compassionate though. I haven't looked them all over (too many of them) but how about: Imposing your god on myself and/or others? That's a <strong><em>BIG</em></strong> one with me. Wait! A.D. means Anno Domini (Year of our Lord), NOT After Death. :mad: OK that's another one of my pet peeves. IF you are going to say, say it right. <blockquote>61) Tell him you must study the Bible for many years to reject Christianity.</blockquote> I have.
