I certainly believe the first two. I don't see yet how the conclusion follows.
Not all christians are foolish or unkind, the majority I interact with are not. But most are unthinking when it comes to interactions with atheists.
Yes, I reject their thoughts in part, the part that they tie any thought(s) to the existence of a god, and are the a result of a god. You can tell me which thoughts you consider great and I'll tell you what I think of them.
Being told you're delusional does not necessarily mean you're mental.
