ridicule then your own treatment of others. If you were truly concerned about wanting to have an intellectual discussion with someone on religion you would know that people are not well receptive to being said that they are wrong, least of all having their thoughts called stupid, ignorant, or the like. When I came here you even posted a indecent picture of the muslim prophet, how well do you think the muslims would see that? Do you think that posting such pictures would change their minds? Or do you think that it would enrage them to see you being so disrespectful? How can you expect disrespect to change their minds? You ought to feel shame for the way you have acted, I have seen children that acted more mature than what I have seen on this forum.

What is wrong with adding gasoline to the fire? By militant I mean the utter lack of respect and maturity offered by either side in a discussion.
You disingenuous cunt. You are no more an atheist than Islam is the religion of peace.
