Well for someone to take offence to something that wasn't meant to offend makes him a bit of a drama queen/prat in my opinion.

"Oh don't say things like that cus I don't like it, itz offensive!".

For me, I'd be blunt. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion, to express your opinion on religion can't really be taken as an offence unless it's directed to the believer. I'd tell him to either accept that I don't believe in the things he does and also to acknowledge that none of what I post is directed at him or unsubscribe from my posts.
Friend or not, he can't tell you what to believe and what to post and not post. And to take offence to something that isn't directed at him and wasn't intended to offend tells me he's very sensitive. Insecure about his beliefs. And so in short, I'd tell him to grow some balls.

But that's just me. Big Grin

Mankind's intelligence walks hand in hand with it's stupidity.

Being an atheist says nothing about your overall intelligence, it just means you don't believe in god. Atheists can be as bright as any scientist and as stupid as any creationist.

You never really know just how stupid someone is, until you've argued with them.
