I know we hear those fundy, ignorant remarks all the time, and sometimes (often) I want to scream at the fundamentalists and berate them for their stupidity and willful bigotry. It is easy to become angry and start a shouting match, but it is also counter-productive.
Counter productive? You know what's counter-fucking-productive? Paying any attention whatsoever to imbeciles who post such shit as what you quoted.
It's counter productive to pretend that coddling stupid people is alright. Fuck no I say. If someone's spouting shit and talking nonsense I feel like I have the responsibility to tell them to shut the fuck up and get in the real world.
Far too long humans have been afraid to speak out against the stupidities in this world. Fuck that, atheism isn't growing because it's making best buddies with religion. It's growing because more and more people are realising the sheer stupidity of religion and are sticking a big damn fucking finger up to it.
If only everyone DID get angry at stupid people, might help stop them from spreading that stupidity.
