Author gets it spot on. Very well written. Do this and you will see that it's very effective.

Remember that Jesus told us to "Love your enemies."

Perhaps you’re aware of a new version of atheists called, reasonably enough, the New Atheists. Like older versions, new atheists don’t believe in God and claim that religious believers are, if not downright stupid, at least intellectually cavalier. But the New Atheists’ complaints against believers aren’t merely academic. As they see it, the believer’s lack of intellectual responsibility is more than a matter of ideas; it is a thing of immense practical concern. Our irrationality, they say, makes us dangerous, not merely dolts. Naturally, this troubles the atheists, whose militant leaders Sam Harris, Daniel Dennett, Richard Dawkins, and the late Christopher Hitchens see religious belief as something to eliminate rather than merely ridicule.

How then should we respond to belligerent unbelievers? Well, it’s all too easy to get angry and wound up. Do the opposite instead: relax. This is one of the first things to remember when attempting to love your enemies. Anger and fear—the latter usually causing the former—get in the way of doing the right thing. To be sure, these atheists are sometimes in your face, asking for a fight, but if you melt into defensive shrillness just because their nose is an inch from yours, you’ve already lost—not merely the confrontation—but the person in front of you.
So how do you remain calm, confident, and in your right mind when someone is threatening you? The first and obvious thing is to constantly pray about it, asking to fear God alone. The second is to prepare for confrontation, to train for it. In the case of these atheists, read up on your apologetics, learn the fundamental moves and high-yield techniques. Just as in physical confrontations, the more competent you are at self-defense, the easier it is to relax. As someone once said, “The stronger you are, the more gentle you can afford to be.” If you don’t feel threatened by the person in front of you, you’ll be more likely to see him as someone who needs help. Which is exactly what the atheist is.

the op is a bible thumper. He is the type that give them a bad name too. he does not shut up about it and continues to push his beliefs in peoples face.


here is how you deal with both atheist and bible thumpers. "you are X? oh yeah? cool. so how about those bears? kicking ass this year eh?"
 
Atheists should be thankful they live in a free land. Imagine living in Saudi Arabia and freely announcing there is no god.
 
I don't associate with Christians. They're a terrible influence on our children and a drain on society with their incessant bigotry and war mongering.
 
If god wanted us all to worship him than maybe he should have created us that way. Dont give something free will and then get pissed they do what they want. Fucking hypocrit.

Your god is fucking lame.
 
What do you do when someone does believe in God but believes the Church is a multinational corporation bent on stealing money and dominating culture and policy, invented by men to achieve those blasphemous purposes?

Imagine living in Pakistan and loving Jeebus.

The religious should be thankful that our agnostic/atheist forefathers threw them a bone and let them hang out here.
