Good. That may be stupid (though I don't know if I'd equate it with "hate speech) but I don't think FB should censor it.

Meh. I've seen better hate speech.

Since Yahweh is fighting in Iraq, I can only assume that ISIL has iron chariots.

They forgot to mention that he was not only a member of the ACLU, but also is the type who doesn't return the power drill he borrowed from you weeks ago, and he drives a Prius. What a prick, hates 'Murrica, too.

I don't think that is hate speech.

The question here isn't if this constitutes hate speech but if you switch the word "atheist" with "Christian" the result would have been the same...? Thinking
