Who is the assholiest Theist you've met in REAL LIFE?

Us theists know have our circle nasty rivalry against atheist opponents online. But in real life, but to be frank, atheist assholes in real life are so RARE that I seriously need to go dig around the country for some with a spade. I've never met a mean atheist in real life except on Reddit and other online people. But we all know that there plenty theists assholes like myself who are bothersome idiots in real life AND online who give a armpit-load of frustration for you guys and the rest of the world.
So I want to know some real-life, non-online, experiences you've had with a theist asshole that was so negative that it blew your nut away?
At any rate, we could use some introspection and see how we theists appear in front your guys.

Luckily I haven't met any in real life. Any theist who knows I'm an atheist is pretty nice about it.

I don't think I've ever met anyone who was an arsehole because of what they believe. I try not to judge people like that.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'

A creationist in my class at college, about 5 years ago. He firmly believed the world was created in 6 days, 6,000 years ago. He was also a deeply unpleasant human being, and seemed to take relish in the fact that so many people would be burning in hell.
Despite my various attempts at politely and not so politely asking him to leave me alone, he persisted.
So I punched him in the face one day, after about 6 months of this going on. And he left me alone. Do I regret it? Yes, to some extent - but 16 year old, hormone-filled me was not prepared to handle the unrelenting stupidity and general dickishness coming from this guy. :/

I'd relate to that idiot as I myself *believe* out of *faith* that the world is 6000 years old, 6 days blah blah blah.
He's probably a secluded, homeschooled son of a priest with hard head and lack of empathy like me. But I don't blame your action because after all, he (like I) was being nasty and Christians like me are supposed to accept "persecution" (more like justice in your case) anyway. We conservative twits have that unfortunate feature of pushing things into people's faces without checking how someone feels first. Sorry for that.

6 months? You're a lot more patient than I am.
I haven't met a theist IRL who was that persistently obnoxious, but I did once have an Amway asshole try to insert himself into my life (he seemed to think I owed it to him because he picked me up hitchhiking). He would call at work, show up unannounced at my place, etc. I tried the polite brush-off for about two weeks. Then one day, after I'd been partying hard with some friends, he turned up at my place and woke me up to pitch me again on the virtues of joining Amway. I mustered by best (hung over) Michael Corleone coldness and informed him that the next time I saw him, regardless of circumstances, I would beat his ass without remorse. I fucking meant it, and I think he knew I meant it because I never saw or heard from the prick again.

Am I involved in this "catfight"?
