Comment #429427 by Son of Rea
Your comment reflects a debate that has been raging online for some time about the appropriate strategy to adopt. Have any of your theist friends been persuaded that they're wrong by respectful, humble atheists?
One is tempted to suggest an anger management course for your friend, but would he get the joke :-)? The serious point is that he needs to grow up and take on board these issues that are presented by atheists (some of which have been for hundreds of years) and not just dismiss them because he's being teased. Non-theists have been at the receiving end of much harsher treatments over the centuries.
