Yes it's a dumb, cheesy story, and no it's not particularly vulgar, but this post actually glorifies physically assaulting an Atheist for attempting to demonstrate his non-belief. The reason this is hate speech is because it encourages Christians to attack you! When I saw this story, it had over 60,000 likes. If Christians continue to treat attacking Atheists as a behavior that should be celebrated and cheered, then sooner or later, some of them are going to start thinking it's a good idea to try it in real life.
Which is why I advocate the Secular Community to take the Dominionists seriously, we should arm ourselves, organize, and prepare for such an event. Neither ignoring the problem nor underestimating the threat makes it go away.
Please don't misunderstand me. I am for peaceful solutions too but I am also not a pacifist nor am I a doormat for anybody. I believe in carrying an olive branch so long as I can smack a belligerent with it just in case he decides to pummel me with his fist. Work for peace but also understand that people who wish to make themselves our enemy should not be allowed an opportunity to attack us with impunity. Work for peace but at the same time prepare for war. Dominionists are not our friends.
