No anger. I have practiced keeping my jaw from unhinging although I need much, much more practice with my eyes.
And...depending on the level of their belief (delusion), I either ask a few pointed questions, or simply excuse myself. Z

I said no, and not because I am/was a creationist. I grew up that way, and am struggling with it currently. Don't know where I'm going to end, up, but that's another story.
I would say I get mad at close minded-ness. I have been guilty at times, as I'm sure we all are, but try to not be. What makes me mad is when someone absolutely refuses to look at, or even acknowledge someone elses mindset or beliefs. Once you've looked, I could care less if you disagree. I live with people who drink, though I don't right now. As long as they are responsible (and they are), it doesn't bother me in the least. In return, they don't pressure me to drink. Sometimes we tease, but I feel no real pressure. The minute they do, I'm out. Even if I choose to drink later. Forcing people to accept your view is a good way to **** me off. So that, in short, is what makes me mad. Close mindedness from ANYONE, doesn't matter who. That and forcing people to accept your views.

I can't really say, as I haven't met any.
The idea of them scares me a bit, though.
