If I were an atheist missionary, I wouldn't post here but on some christian board. Truth is, I don't give a shit what everyone believes. But if some freaks come here, bathing in their real life ignorance, I see no reason to hold back. Same goes for IRL. As long as they don't invade my personal space, I stay out of theirs. But if they do, it's gloves off.

2. Make broad sweeping generalizations about EVERYONE on the Other Side based on the single example cited in Step 1.
3. Express outrage, disbelief or both at the beliefs and actions of the Other Side cited in Step 1.
4. Use foul-language to show that you're all grown up now and that YOU'RE REALLY SERIOUS about not liking the Other Side cited in Step 1.
5. Follow up with obligatory YouTube videos and/or memes mocking the Other Side.
6. Yuck it up with anyone from Your Side who also posts mocking the Other Side using steps 2, 3, 4 or 5.
7. Congratulate yourself and others for really having given the Other Side what for.
8. Thank God that you are not on the Other Side. Oh, wait...

Repeat Steps 1-7 daily to avoid actually thinking about what the Other Side is saying. (And joining them.)

Holy shit, it's almost like this is a laid back online forum and not a formal debate area!

Same here.  I'm an atheist.  I see no reason and have no compulsion to proselytize.  But, I won't be passive if someone comes onto my turf spouting idiocy.

What a warm, inviting place this is...

Anyone who is on This Side can feel free to say the most outrageous things about the Other Side and no one will question them.

Bad day at work? Same-sex partner walk out on you? Feel like kicking the cat? Don't do that; just take it all out on the Other Side.

There now...doesn't that feel better?

Have some kudos...you're among friends.

It can be warm and inviting. Ask C_L whether she is treated well.

Your continued insistence that everyone play by your rules and take you seriously while at the same time being a condescending twat is the reason you are receiving that welcome you got. The welcome you deserve.

You wanted to have a bunch of monologues where everyone trips over themselves to praise your loquacious drivel, and you found out real quick this isn't your home turf.

Sorry bout your luck.
"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

I'm pretty much the same in RL, except I have a sign on my house that says, "This is an atheist household.  Please do not knock if you're attempting to push religion.  If you insist on knocking be prepared for a hostile response"

My four year old doesn't pitch fits like this. If the heat bothers you that much, Randy, get the fuck out of the kitchen.
