I know a lot of people believe in evolution, however a lie is still a lie no matter how many smug people believe it, right? So is it wrong to out-debate an ignorant militant fundie atheist that takes their talking points from carl sagan, richard dawkins, or some spaghetti man? I am not out to humiliate them, but when they bring up religion and pracitcally force me to debate them with their insults and taunts, is it wrong to crush their little belief system? Can this do lasting damage to their mental state? I have debated this internally with myself because I don't want some fundie atheist to go crazy realizing that there is no evolution and jump off a bridge or something. I do not seek them out, however I just want them to respect my beliefs and stop trying to convert me. They always use the same generalizing, straw man, pot calling kettle black arugments and they are so simple-minded and easy to crush. i guess some people prefer simplistic ideologies like evolution.
