Tell you what, you gather together some "moderate" Christians, and make a serious effort to go seek out and engage extremist Christians. So that we don't have to.

That way, when we come to words with them, you don't have your backs to them while you cry about how we're painting all "people of faith" with a broad brush, but instead for perhaps the first time ever, have your backs to us demanding of the nutjobs to explain why your faith should be tarnished by their unmitigated assholery.

You're either against us atheists or against them extremists. Which is it? Pick one or sit down.

If you don't take this stand, then it's left to us atheists to engage the crazies. And you might not like our diagnosis (that all religion is false and stupid). If that isn't something you want to hear, then do something about your fucking extremists or go sit in the corner and shut the fuck up.

We'll be glad to take them out for you, but you might get caught in a wee bit of crossfire. That's just the cost of outsourcing this job to the atheists, just because you're too timid to do something about the "fellow Christians" who have taken it way too far.

Sorry if our lines of attack and criticism aren't "civil" or "genteel" enough for you. Sorry if we don't show magical respect for whatever silly bullshit dribbles out of your mouth. We are here to apply logic and take names. And frankly, we don't give the least fuck what your names are..
