"Status Wars"

[Thor]

This is a funny little thing that happens every I post a status on Yahoo.. My dad always happens to repond with something that is not directly addressing my quote, but along the lines and against the lines.

I posted the quote "Science flies you to moons and stars. Religion flies you into buildings."
but I twisted it a little by making it:"Science flies you to space. Religion flies you into buildings."
just to be simpler...

And he responds by saying: Truth often suffers more by the heat of its defenders than by the arguments of its opponents! Unkown Source

and

"I Don't Have Enough Faith to Be an Atheist" - good book by Norman L. Geisler


and the usual junk he responds with... I'm sure it doesn't take much faith at all to be atheist... right?
I try not to be offensive with the quotes at all...
Should I?

I have a friend who is a staunch atheist and his mother is a devout Christian. His mother is constantly sending him (along with everyone else in the family) crap emails regarding "God" and "Jesus". Mostly, he ignores them. But on occasion he does reply with well reasoned arguments that shoot down his mother's nonsense. He doesn't really get into arguments with her, but he does let her know that he thinks her beliefs are ridiculous.
