I will conduct myself in a civil and polite manner with anybody, Christian or not. However, if you believe I am going to be eternally punished for not believing in the same thing as you then you're a shitty person. End of story.

I'll split hairs with you on this last statement, even though I agree with what you're saying. I could care less if a person believes I'll be eternally punished for not believing... If they discriminate against me for not sharing their believes, they'll face a fight, and yes, I would say they are a shitty person.
“Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able? Then he is not omnipotent.
Is he able, but not willing? Then he is malevolent.
Is he both able and willing? Then whence cometh evil?
Is he neither able nor willing? Then why call him God?”
Epicurus
