So it's perfectly acceptable for Christians to say that atheists deserve torture, that atheists shouldn't be citizens, and that atheists are worse than Osama bin Laden. But the second an atheist so much as disagrees with martryn, it's "Christian bashing", they're forcing their beliefs on matryn, and it's a general outrage?
How would you feel if we started making fun of your mother, or your siblings, or your girlfriend
Fine, fine, and outraged, but only until she leaves the room. Then I don't have to pretend like I care any longer.
Bearing in mind that they have no resemblance with one another, I don't see the point. And, besides, those creatures are far above us, so, please, don't be offended in their behalf.
If God is offended by anything I have to say, I'm quite sure He is capable of sending me an e-mail telling me so.
Blasphemy is a victimless crime.
First, I can prove that my mother, sister and various girlfriends exist or have existed. there is no credible evidence supporting the existence of God, Jesus or the virgin Mary as anything more than fictional characters.
Second, I do know how it feels to be belittled for my beliefs. I'm an atheist and your Bible proclaims that atheists never do anything good despite mountains of evidence showing that to be untrue.
You do realize, of course, that to many of your fellow fundies, your devotion to the Virgin Mary is a damnable heresy.
Gunnery Sergeant Hartman: Private Joker, do you believe in the Virgin Mary?
If you started insulting my mother, siblings, and/or girlfriend, I would insult back and win $1000 in cash monies.
Make fun of my mother all you like.
Or my brother (though I wouldn't do iot to his face if I were you ;-) )
And I don't have a girlfriend.
But, at least we have evidence that those people (apart from a girlfriend) exist.
I'd be a bit offended if you insulted my sister or girlfriend. My mother, not so much.
The difference is, of course, that they can be proven to exist. If you want to make fun of my deities, however, feel free. I might even join you on that one.

Like any mature person, I would ignore you because I know that my family are fine, decent people and your opinion of them matters less than zero. If you're so sure your holy family is so great, then why do you get upset by other people's opinions? Is it because you're basically insecure about your faith?
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
