Good, let them glorify violence. Let them encourage each other to violate the principles they claim to hold dear.
Let them catch an ass-whoopin' or two in the meantime.

If you're going to challenge god, then make it worthy: keep a 1ton rock hovering forever, no strings, no magnetic or electric fields, no nothing physical, just god-like willpower.
On the other hand, violently assaulting human beings has been Yahweh's stock-in-trade for a few thousand years.
"Well, evolution is a theory. It is also a fact. And facts and theories are different things, not rungs in a hierarchy of increasing certainty. Facts are the world's data. Theories are structures of ideas that explain and interpret facts. Facts don't go away when scientists debate rival theories to explain them. Einstein's theory of gravitation replaced Newton's in this century, but apples didn't suspend themselves in midair, pending the outcome. And humans evolved from ape- like ancestors whether they did so by Darwin's proposed mechanism or by some other yet to be discovered."

Fix the thread title for ya:
"Facebook rightly says an idiotic meme that didn't actually happen exalting violence against atheists isn't hate speech."
In other news:

"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great

While I like the strong rock crusher meme, I still think the site needs a stronger pooping meme.
The marine didn't drop anyone in a crusher, but like all big burly mens with good appetites, I bet he could pinch off massive turds with abandon.
The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.

He could probably pinch your dick off with his butt cheeks.

I guess we know why god doesn't heal the sick, feed the hungry, and shelter the homeless. According to the meme he is to busy protecting the US military.

Damn, that would be a ride . .
You can fuck a marine and a marine can fuck you.
You can suck a marine and a marine can suck you.
But don't ever try to kiss a marine because that's queer.

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.
