Honey if you read this... You are forewarned, next fight, I'm burning up all our worldly possessions! Or does that only work indians?

Yeah, that's the problem with arguing with religious people. They're irrational, so there's really no point - you won't get anywhere with someone who believes a 2000 year old book over physical evidence. No point in bashing, since they'll just yell "persecution" as if someone else stating their opinion is an affront to them personally. It's just like the gay marriage thing, where they pretend that someone else doing something unrelated to them in any way affects them personally, so that they can continue to oppress all the freethinkers of the world. What do you think they'd do if we started to proselytize like they do?

i think it's the part where you seem to think that anyone who is religious is also a moron that offends religious people. and for the record, i'm not basing this on anything other than the content of your post and your ignoring the statement that no religious people have had enough of a problem with the bus ads to say anything to the NYC Atheists.
