Today I Googled "Superiority Complex"... trying to narrow down that annoying attitude... you know the one... observed regularly coming from Atheists and Theists... their precious "Patent Packaged Truths". Views, arrogantly... boastfully... without an ounce of humility, that would only be espoused by inferior people that hide behind "something bigger than their self" hoping to give their self some sense of superiority.
Atheism and Theism, is the easy ticket to bragging rights... to a big fat nothing. I have a friend who complains about Theists boasting they will be the only ones in heaven. And all of it is a simple case of damaged brain cells doing the talking, along with Atheists who claim they're "so intellectually superior" because they're an atheist. Hogwash!
ATHEISM & THEISM (see this link: What is a Superiority Complex?)
"...A superiority complex is a psychological disorder in which the affected individual experiences an exaggerated feeling of self-importance. He or she feels superior to other people and displays a general disregard for the thoughts of others. Individuals with a superiority complex often exhibit a sense of grandiosity. They typically maintain a feeling that they are better or more important than other people, and often fail to take the opinions or desires of others seriously. This disorder may also be referred to as narcissism or megalomania."
Superiority Complex = Mental Disorder... Like this little person below who _arrogantly_ and very erroneously equates his precious religion of atheism to the monopoly on "science lessons" to teach all those "inferior theists"... yes, superiority complex... a mental disorder... and what social contribution?? Hatefully agitating in droves, hacking up forums with bigoted anti-religious rants?
UncleMejija, Mar 26, 2012: The ironic part is that most atheists couldn't pass high school chemistry. Just as dimwitted, yet ten times more arrogant about their omniscience.UncleMejija said: I'm an atheist who ignores religious people almost completely, and so I have the clear sight to see the anger and overreaction most atheists harbor toward religious folks. The militancy of atheists is what's most disturbing. Let religious people relicize in peace.dunre646 said: you mean the ones that ask questions and give science lessons?
Science lessons?!?
From what? A baseless philosophy like Atheism that is not remotely based in science because it offers no substantiating evidence for itself?! What would qualify these atheist clowns to "give science lessons"?! Somebody is not only arrogant but delusional as well!
Seriously, "The ironic part is that most atheists couldn't pass high school chemistry." was the opinion of an atheist, I copied and pasted.
Amen. An Atheist with a working brain.
BEWARE THE UNDERLYING SUPERIORITY COMPLEX WHICH IS A SERIOUS MENTAL ISSUE!!! (actually, it may be a hidden inferiority complex say the shrinks)...
My head swims reading this diagnosis for superiority complexes, its all there, what attracts people to religion.... I have seen these behaviors in atheist hovels and can think of equally disturbing examples among ardent theists,
ATHEISM & THEISM:
"...A superiority complex is a psychological disorder in which.... he or she ..... disregard for the thoughts of others....."
Amen. Rudely shatting upon freedoms of others; the right of worship, or lack thereof, under laws that protect the freedom of religion for all.
Many Atheists... and Theists.... genuinely believe that those who do not agree with their religion(s) and do not think the same way they do, are irrelevant non-people. They lambaste their enemies (?? sprinkled with a touch of paranoia??) with scathing insulting ridicule and condemnation.
This mental disease borderlines on a god complex.

Agnostic: What did Hebrews mean by fruit? They didn't have microscopes to see fungi reproduction. And "fruit" is being used extremely loosely by microbiologists who study fungi. It just means that the fungi cells organize themselves into bodies that act somewhat like "seeds" that can fly away and spread new colonies of fungi.
Science/Genesis: Oh my God, are you serious?!
FRUIT. A general term for "fruit". Fruit of the Loom, Fruit of the Womb... etc.

Encyclopedia of Life - Defining mushrooms
All mushrooms are fungi, but not all fungi are mushrooms. For those fungi that produce them, the mushroom plays a similar role to a flower or a fruit in plants.
Growing & harvesting
A mushroom is actually the fruit of a much bigger fungus which grows under the ground. The entire organism consists of an extensive network of tiny fibres which produce fruiting bodies so the fungus can reproduce. These fruits are the mushrooms that we see above ground, and some species of mushroom are edible. Mushrooms grow in the wild in autumn, but can be cultivated year round, by recreating autumn conditions at any time, allowing us to enjoy fresh mushrooms all the time. Learn more about how mushrooms are grown here.
Fruit of the Fungi
http://www.fruitofthefungi.com/
In 2007, our adventures led us to the amazing world of mushrooms. We found that gourmet mushrooms are an ideal local product. Mushrooms are difficult to transport while maintaining quality. The established food system cannot compete with the taste, texture, or shelf-life of a fresh picked gourmet mushroom. We promise to deliver only the highest quality mushrooms that we would be proud to serve to our own family. As you enjoy our site and learn about our products, we hope that you will feel as we do, at home. Come visit us at the farm or market and give our ‘fruit’ of the fungi a try.
God Bless,

Mushrooms are also unique within the Fungal Kingdom itself, because they produce the complex fruiting body which we all know as 'The Mushroom', all of the mushrooms are placed in a division called 'Eumycota' meaning 'The True Fungi'.
The True Fungi are what we all know as mushrooms. They are divided into other groups depending on the structure of their fruiting bodies and various other macro and microscopic characteristics.
So, what are mushrooms? A mushroom is but the fruit of the fungal organism that produces them, just like an apple tree produces apples to bear seeds to ensure the continuation of it's species, so the fungal organism produces mushrooms that carry spores to ensure the continuation of it's own species.
Therefore, the mushroom is the reproductive organ for the fungus.
This means that by picking a mushroom we do not harm the fungus itself, because the main body of the organism lies underground in the form of a network of minute threads called 'Hyphae'.
When two compatible hyphae meet they join together to form another network called the 'Mycelium' which grows quietly and unseen under ground for most of the year until the conditions are right for fruiting and that's when we get to see mushrooms.
Unfortunately, mushrooms are very delicate things, they do not last, some have a life span of less than a day others may survive one week, and a group of tougher mushrooms may last months but they have a tough woody texture.
Most fleshy mushrooms do not last, and this makes researching them very difficult.
Since we do not know where they are till they fruit, we only get a few days to study them each time, and this is seasonal.
You may ask why we don't mark the spot they fruited so they can be studied more next time? Good idea, but mushrooms are funny things, you may see a mushroom on a patch of your front lawn this year, but it may not fruit again for several years, or it may fruit again next week, or you may find a completely different kind of mushroom in the same area.
Each Mushroom carries within it millions or even billions of spores, to the extent, that in the case of some kinds of mushrooms grown commercially, workers have to wear dust masks to protect themselves from the spore dust and breath easily.
Only a few of these spores manage to survive and grow into a mycelial network producing new mushrooms . To make life even more difficult, two compatible spores have to meet to be able to produce mushrooms.
Here's more.
"FRUIT".
'nuff said.
Mushroom Information and Educational Projects with Mushrooms
Mushroom FactsThe Mushroom
What is a mushroom? Mushrooms are not plants! Recently it has been discovered that they are more closely related to animals. But at one time, Fungi, including mushrooms, were believed to be close relatives of plants so much of their nomenclature (names for parts of the mushroom) are close to the names used for plant parts. It is the fruit (like an apple) of the mushroom "body" and contain mushroom "seeds" called spores. The body of the mushroom in called mycelium and its individual parts are microscopic. Since the body of the mushroom is usually dispersed over a relatively large area it is rarely noticed. In nature some species of mushrooms may have a body that spreads over hundreds of square miles!
Mushrooms are fungi, and are usually placed in a Kingdom of there own apart from plants and animals. Mushrooms contain no chlorophyll and most are considered saprophytes. That is, they obtain their nutrition from metabolizing non living organic matter. This means they break down and "eat" dead plants, like your compost pile does.
The body of the mushroom stores nutrients and other essential compounds, and when enough material is stored and the conditions are right they start to fruit - produce mushrooms. It is a hidden kingdom. The part of the fungus that we see is only the “fruit” of the organism. The living body of the fungus is a mycelium made out of a web of tiny filaments called hyphae. The mycelium is usually hidden in the soil, in wood, or another food source. A mycelium may fill a single ant, or cover many acres. The branching hyphae can add over a half mile (1 km) of total length to the mycelium each day. These webs live unseen until they develop mushrooms, puffballs, truffles, brackets, cups, “birds nests,” “corals” or other fruiting bodies. If the mycelium produces microscopic fruiting bodies, people may never notice the fungus.
Most fungi build their cell walls out of chitin. This is the same material as the hard outer shells of insects and other arthropods. Plants do not make chitin.
Fungi feed by absorbing nutrients from the organic material in which they live. Fungi do not have stomachs. They must digest their food before it can pass through the cell wall into the hyphae. Hyphae secrete acids and enzymes that break the surrounding organic material down into simple molecules they can easily absorb - this is composting. Recent scientific studies have sown that Mushrooms Slow Climate Warming In Northern Forests.
Mushrooms are nutritious: They are a good source of B vitamins, especially niacin and riboflavin, and rank the highest among vegetables for protein content. But because they are low in fat and calories, Western nutritionists mistakenly considered them of no food value (a fresh pound has only about 125 calories). Yet in dried form, mushrooms have almost as much protein as veal and a significant amount of complex carbohydrates called polysaccharides. Shiitake mushrooms are among the most delicious & very nutritious.
Mushrooming up over night? If the body is spread out and microscopic, how do mushrooms grow so quickly? There are two basic reasons: 1) Since they store up compounds between fruiting and most fruit once a year, they have a lot of reserve available to support the mushroom. 2) Mushrooms develop differently than plants or animals do. Plants and animals grow through cell division - to get bigger they have to produce more cells. Cell division is relatively slow and requires a lot of energy. The mushroom body also grows by cell division. However, the mushroom fruit does not grow by cell division. Just about as soon as it starts to develop, a mushroom has almost the same number of cells that the mature mushroom will have. The mushroom increases in size through cell ENLARGEMENT! This means that the cells can balloon up very rapidly. Very little energy is required, basically the cells just enlarge with water. So a mushroom can increase in size as fast as water can be pumped into its cells. Almost overnight a mushroom can go from a pin head to a large mushroom.
BTW, this is not about the Bible.
This is all about atheist' arrogance -- predictably, the more ignorant they are, the more ARROGANT and OMNISCIENT they get over their stupid atheism religion.
THE PROOF of their mental illness is in their DELUSION OF GRANDIEUR when they boast Atheism is "Science".
Ironically, I don't know of any theists who go around claiming they are Scientists because they're Creationists?!?!?! o_O
Even Jon Sarfati has an actual degree (chemistry). Jesus. He's got credulous readers, but the readers don't go around boasting the claim to be scientists themselves!
I have seen examples of creationists who get a diploma mill certificate, then try to distort science into saying something it doesn't but creationists aren't so bold to claim "creationism is science".
Atheists make that mistake all the time because they're delusional in their superiority complex.
