Atheism attracts the most arrogant and condescending people I have ever met. There is no debating them. Everyone, but them, is some stupid backward non thinking hick who believes in fairy tails and Santa Klaus. To them there is no purpose in life. There is nothing after death. And my favorite is the loud declaration that Christianity has killed more people than anything in history.
I always tell them to go preach their atheist gospel in hospitals. Tell the infirmed that find comfort in their faith that they have been duped and they are stupid and there is nothing to hope for when they die.
They never do.
Communism is atheist and has murdered more than 70 million people in the past 70 years.
It's not good that there have been wrongful deaths caused by Christians for wrong reasons. You should remind them every day those are wrong, yet aberrations. Atheists, however have killed HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS of their own countrymen in their search for "justice" in just the past hundred years, a known fact.
Never let them forget that because the tally isn't even close. Deaths at Salem, a bit over a dozen. Let them do the math and compare that with hundreds of millions, then watch them splutter and turn red.
News flash: most atheists, like myself, don’t go around trying to talk other people out of their faith, or belittling them for it. We may get a little upset when some pious person insists on trying to talk us out of our lack of faith, though.
Speaking of arrogance and condescension, though, there’s more than a whiff of it in your (and others’) post.
