As I clearly said, it has nothing to do with disrespecting Jesus or God (Gawd) or anything similar. Using such terms automatically moves the conversation from reasonable/civil to mocking. Why in the world would I participate in a discussion with someone who's motivation in the writing a sentence includes mocking?
On the other hand, it does makes it easy to decide who is worth seeing on my feed.
As Alpha said, there is always another atheist right behind him/her willing to discuss an issue.
Hey, god never said it would be easy, did he? Remember, if you can save one soul...
