The Pot Calls The Kettle Black

In the latest episode of Awake!(always thought the exclamation point was overdoing it), Jehovah's Witnesses target atheists for not keeping their opinions to themselves. After years of knocking on our doors and trying to start awkward, impromptu religious conversations with coworkers and family members, Witnesses take issue with so called "new atheists". From the first paragraph of the magazine:

A new group of atheists has arisen in society.
Called the new atheists, they are
not content to keep their views to themselves.
Rather, they are on a crusade, “actively, angrily,
passionately trying to persuade the religious
to their point of view,” wrote columnist
Richard Bernstein. Even agnostics are in
their sights, for these new atheists allow no
room for doubt. To them, there simply is no
God. End of story.

Isn't it ironic? Don't you think? The same people that have been shoving their religion down our throats for decades would rather have us atheists keep our opinions to ourselves. I'll be honest: I didn't read the rest of the article. Too much hypocrisy to try to take in before lunch.
