Go back to the original post, read it slowly and carefully, and if you have the mental capacity (doubtful) figure out why you are wrong in what you’ve been saying. I am not butt hurt, just angry that the stupid bitch insisted on her attempted proselytizing when I told her, not interested, atheist, gave clear indications what I thought of her and her religion, and why I didn’t want to talk about it. As I said before, if you don’t get that, you are beyond stupid. > > _“Although the left is pushing real hard for “hate speech” and “hate crime” laws”_ > Against who? You are, as usual, completely full of shit. Why does it get both of your asscheeks SO RED that a Christian wants to talk religion with you? Look at the state of your meltdown above and tell me you don’t have some weird, deep down issue that you’re compensating for with anger. So fucking what if a Christian approached you. You act like that shit was an affront to your entire manhood. If that little, minuscule thing has you THIS wound up then I’d hate to see you in any kind of situation that’s even remotely stressful. You’d be crying in a bathroom somewhere. ---

My only response to you in the future will be, fuck off, fuck you, or some other such variant. Seriously, you’re more annoying than that psycho god bitch. ---

> [@atimnie](#): > > That’s the way this bitch opened. “Do you know who Jesus was?” Yes, you stupid cunt, I know who fucking Jesus was. Do you think I’m as stupid as you are? I didn’t say anything like that, right at that moment. It was only when the deluded bitch wouldn’t take a fucking hint and shut the fuck up that I shouted, FUCK YOU. By that time, I had said a few nasty things about her, her beliefs, religion in general, bitch kept pushing. As I said before, I have no problem with the casually religious, it’s only when they get in your face that they show themselves to be a self important asshole, rude, obnoxious, and totally oblivious to how rude and obnoxious they are. Their heads all full of god and Jesus, there’s no room left for common sense or decency. This is a worthy pit topic, and your ire is entirely justified. And yes **Annoyed** is a tedious pissant and obvious troll. But maybe ease up on the “bitch” and “cunt” a tad? Sure, it’s the Pit. But ranting doesn’t necessitate creating a toxic environment. Kumbaya. ---

> [@Annoyed](#): > > Oh I have very little doubt and I know I’m right (and you do too) that most of the Christian haters in this thread (you included) would prostrate themselves at the feet of the first Muslim who wanted to talk about the Koran and Islam, but would feign aggression (because pussies) at a Christian who wanted to talk about the Bible. > > This is a fact. I think you need to look up the meaning of the word Fact. Your totally unsupported assumption =/= fact. Religions are the source of evil, IMO. ALL of them. The little bit of good they do is far, far outweighed by the bloodshed they have caused. So when you come telling me that some deity will right all my wrongs and make me happy and that there’s a better place for me in the afterlife (or whatever the selling point of the moment is), don’t be surprised to get nothing but a flat “No” and nothing more. ---

If you lived in Thailand you wouldn’t need to be told as the something is very common knowledge in that country. So, at best, you’ve visited Thailand, but you are not a permanent resident. OK… _::: scratches off one item on list :::_ … Angry Hamster does not live in Thailand. This is fun - anyone else have Significant Questions by which to narrow down Angry Hamster’s location?

I’d just like to know if the reaction is equal and proportionate or not. I’d wager a months salary it wouldn’t be. I was just as rude to the last attempt to convert me to the cult of the earthly manifestation of the Seven Deadly Sins (marginally ruder, actually – I’ve never commented on a god-botherer’s sartorial choices, but I told this guy that his little red cap just called attention to his baldness). Now you have a reason to be “Annoyed”; you owe me a month’s salary. ---
