Because words that are the most offensive or insulting really spur rational discussion? Because they can de-escalate the emotionalism from an argument so that people actually listen to each other? No because they sate some juvenile need because your EQ is somewhere stuck near your IQ and equitable to that of a butt-hurt 4 year old (pun intended). I wonder why Christians generally assume most atheists are reactionary and puerile or conflate atheists with anti-theists regularly?
"There ought to be a term that would designate those who actually follow the teachings of Jesus, since the word 'Christian' has been largely divorced from those teachings, and so polluted by fundamentalists that it has come to connote their polar opposite: intolerance, vindictive hatred, and bigotry." -- Philip Stater, Huffington Post
