First, I have never heard any hatred, fun making or desire to harm any atheist from any pulpit live or on TV.

I have heard teachings on how to debate the Atheist (never out of hatred but out of a desire to see them come to our view)

And of course an atheist will be lumped into the general "non-believer" status. Which means they will suffer the consequences of their sin unless they accept the pardon paid for by Jesus Christ.

Neither situation is hateful or irreverent, it is love for a fellow man. Jesus said no man can be saved and hate his brother. So any hatred you heard came from a cult or a pagan or a Christian not following the standards of Christ and will be dealt with by God.

Do Atheist have any such standards of Conduct? You know, outside their own concept of right and wrong? What man decides is wrong can easily change. Absolutes are a basis of Freedom.

Second, should atheist return fire? Well, I guess that proves the condition of the heart and mind doesn't it. If real hate was coming from someone you believed to be a Christian then they are not a Christian or are in rebellion to God and will be dealt with. So why retaliate? Especially against words, of course violence should be reported to the police.

I would suggest you become more informed about what it means to be a Christian before you lump us all together with some backslidden Christian or a cult.

By default as a belief system we love all and share the Good News with all (one and the same is it not?). Just because we oppose something does not mean we hate any person. To say otherwise is to distort the facts and only those with losing causes distort facts (that is why the media distorts).

What Penn & Teller did was out of hatred, what else could it be? It satisfied a desire to "get back" at Christians (God) in their own little way. Is that not the way it works? You strike out to mask or to sooth a pain or a longing? Maybe a fear of inadequacies or a rebellion to "certain" rules?

It is a form of hatred to mock those who believe in Him who taught all of us to love one another (even our enemies).
