I've been beaten because of my religion. The jackass almost pushed me down the stairs and killed me. Why are we so nice about that kind of thing? Tolerating it does nothing for us. I think we can show some anger and hate because that's all christians seem to understand. They ignore logic so why can't we just insult them? And I mean to their face. None of this making fun of them in the forums crap. Scream at them. I've tried and it works better than being calm and telling them about how impossible the idea of God is.


Yes, let's respond to hate with more hate.



Defend yourself, but don't do so with spite. It'll take time, but most of them will come to their senses sooner or later. Don't kneel down and surrender all but the last as they say, but don't fight back. Don't resist their attacks with hate in your heart.

Yeah, I disagree. I believe you shouldn't go out making trouble, but if trouble comes to you, defend yourself, even if it means with spite. We are, after all, human, and spite is a very human feeling.

I don't. It's a human emotion, but one which we must keep tight reins on.

Keeping control does not mean getting rid of an emotion entirely. It isn't difficult to imagine what would happen to a society filled with hateless individuals. If it's invaded by anything with the capacity for spite, it will fall quite quickly.

EDIT: Sorry, I misread the whole damn thing. Haven't slept in over twelve hours. I agree with Tenth Speed in the sense that defending yourself is different from actually spreading hate, but the fact of that matter is that if religious differences are the sole cause of a fight, it can't hurt to rub it in a bit, either. "Where is your God now?" and all that. If a fight were about something like money, and you successfully floor your collectors, you may say something like, "There's your damn down payment", or something maybe not as utterly cheesy.

The point I want to make is, keep the topic of the fight alive, and rub it in their face if you come out on top. You've earned that privelege.

EDIT: You may want to not do this though if you were the one who started the fight. There's a fine line between the thrill of victory and just being a p***k.

No one here is advocating making hate your whole life, so no one make any rebuttals to arguments that don't exist yet.

Read my signature. Nothing in this world earns you the "right" or "privilege" of being an a*****e. If your intent is really to try and pry them from their beliefs, then you had best leave them something encouraging to go off of from there to lead them down this path, not just a blow to spite them. To do so really does make you something disgusting.
