I got this from an atheistic site. It's mainly taking a piss at religion. It has some good points and has some jokes put in.
Personally I wouldn't use some of them but I find them funny.
I'm far from bothered about that "If you don't stop believing in God right now, I'll punch you in the face. - Since I've seen quotes like these "Forgive me for I shall kill all non-believers" And "I shall smite all atheists".
It bothers me because of quotes from theists like those. I'd rather not pander at their level. I think that being an atheist shows a level of reason and intelligence to be able to abandon childhood indoctrination. When challenged by the theists we should use that very reason and intelligence not same-level rebukes.
I'm not saying I cannot take a joke, some if it is pretty funny. But it just confused me as to whether it was serious or not by posting it in the discussion forum.
I do Agree with you. but it is a joke, it's not an actual threat.
I had already mentioned that I wouldn't actually use these pointers. Some are good points and some are just jokes.
I wouldn't agree with an atheist threaterning theists with violence. Nor would I like to see it from the theistic side.
This thread is just a topic about atheistic pointers, Some good points and some are just jokes. Clearly none of these are suitable for a proper debate.

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.
