Wouldn't you call it rude to ignore someone? Evil for evil - eye for an eye, and all that?

What exactly do you believe you have exposed? I have my beliefs yes. Yes I believe differently then you. Yes I am biased against atheists, I have admitted that time and time again. My motive remains the same. Show Christians how their actions is effecting atheists. Proving to them, using their own method that there is a problem within the church that needs to be fixed.
No at all. If someone is being rude and condescending to you, paying them no attention while they do so is a perfectly reasonable and moral response. But if you want to keep engaging him, that's your call. Just giving my suggestion. Do with it as you will.
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
