I would probably type out in my word processor “Go boil to death in a vat your own vomit, you monstrous fucks.”
…
let other people respond to this reckless hate, people who are not worn down to the bone by the vitriol and spite of the religious towards the non-religious

I do hope you realize the irony of this statement.

Treat them with all the respect they deserve, ie, none. Mock them for their willful stupidity; turn moronism into something to be ashamed of.

I agree, except I’d like to tack on one more thing: I’d try to do it without becoming elitist in the process.

people who have not yet learned or are unwilling to learn that if you treat morons with civility, they will take that advantage and further despoil civilization.

Yeah, but what else can be done with morons? They exist in our society whether we like it or not.

And then I would delete that (because it’s not very nice, innit?), and let other people respond to this reckless hate, people who are not worn down to the bone by the vitriol and spite of the religious towards the non-religious, people who have not yet learned or are unwilling to learn that if you treat morons with civility, they will take that advantage and further despoil civilization.

I know, it seems stupid, but I just find it so damn interesting how much it shocks these kinds of people when they meet a non-Christian, are unfathomably rude and condescending to them, and then still receive an open-minded response. It freaks their minds, I tells ya 0_0

“A gentle answer deflects anger,
but harsh words make tempers flare.”
-Proverbs 15:1

“If it is possible, as far as it depends on you, live at peace with everyone…
If your enemy is hungry, feed him;
if he is thirsty, give him something to drink.
In doing this, you will heap burning coals on his head. Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.”
-Romans 12:18-21

I think we’re on the same page with this.

Along with the usual fairy tales, blood, and gore, there’s actually some pretty good advice.

Unfortunately
a) People pick and choose what to follow and what not to, and
b) There’s so much sadistic non-believer-hating stuff in there, it oughtweighs the good stuff.

I should write a blog post about that.. Too bad i’m too lazy.

I’m not sending Nedd anything. He’s a great argument for atheism, let him continue.
