Not a damn thing. It is none of my business. Treat people as peers even when you don't agree with them.

Theists are wrong and annoying. They seem immune to reason so insults and coercion are your best bet.

Interventions on a massive scale to free those still in a religious cult. Sedation for those who are too far gone.

Turn them into Soylent Green. It is time for a final solution. Round them up and put them out of their (or at least our) misery.

Even 2?

The phrasing is provocative but I didn't think its implementation would necessarily be. Think of it as "if you hold a bias against theism, then only seek to challenge their position when the opportunity arises in polite conversation." So this option is more or less allowing for advocating against theism but only in non-invasive ways.

[Liking your sig-line by the way.]

Hmm maybe not. I'm inclined to let people say what they want as long as it doesn't start to impact on me. Then I'd say something. That would go for Christians too.

Judge not, lest ye be judged. Or, if you prefer... Our criticisms reflect our own condition.

I have to say I don't really like he idea of he final solution, I mean I don't really feel like being killed eight now, but I could fit it in to my plans for the week.

I propose to treat them as peers and simultaneously prevent them from using their belief as an excuse to infringe upon other people's rights.
Whoever fights monsters should see to it that in the process he does not become a monster. And if you gaze long enough into an abyss, the abyss will gaze back into you

Reverse psychology, by doing this we in theory won't be killed.
