Do you turn the other cheek on this POS, are there any Bible Verses that come to mind with this, will you join me in praying for his salvation, that the holy spirit find this person.
I pray this unselfish prayer in Jesus's name.

Below is what I wrote him as a bible verse will not appeal to him.
But yes, I will pray for him because I find that the worse they are against Christians the better more Apostolic Christians they become. See the apostle Paul hated, persecuted and killed Christians then became one of the strongest apostles and advocates for Jesus. So yes I will pay for him. Anyway what I wrote him is below.

I love all people. I have compassion and peace in my heart knowing that I can love all people but hate the sin! I do not love Satan and I do not love what he does to people but people belong to God and I love them. We are told to love the sinner and hate the sin. That is what I try to do on a daily basis. I stumble and fall because I am not perfect but each day my prayer is that I will learn more and more how to love everyone as a child of God. I do pray that this person will be shown the grace, mercy and compassion that Jesus Christ offers.

We are supposed to love all our human brothers and sisters, so yes. I don't love what this person says, but we're not commanded to love what people do or say. We are supposed to love the sinner and hate the sin. This applies to ourselves as well (especially ourselves). We are not supposed to judge the person, but we are commanded to judge a person's words and actions and hold them/ ourselves accountable. We must judge our own actions harsher than we judge the actions of others. None of us are perfect, or even close.
I think this person has chosen enmity with many people, not just Jesus, not just Christians. He doesn't realize that Jesus is not his enemy, nor are true Christians.
I do think that this person needs some serious help. The anonymity of this site allows cowards like him to feel bold. I doubt he would say these things in public. I feel sorry for someone so consumed with such hate and fear directed towards his fellow man. I've lived with my own share of such hate and fear, I'm sure we all have. I'm sure most of us can agree that even the smallest amount of such hate and fear is utterly destructive, not only to those at whom we direct our hatred, but even more so, to ourselves.
If this person is a "Christian" trying to stir up anger and hate, then he is not a true Christian and should be ashamed of himself.

I would pray that this person will find redemption in the Lord Jesus. Jesus did not come to earth and die on the cross to save the righteous, he came to save sinners. Those who believe on the Lord Jesus are forgiven and saved. This is called grace, and the most grace is available for those who need it the most. The person who wrote Amazing Grace, for example, was a racist slave trader who came to realize that the needed the Lord's grace more than many others did. And when he asked for it, no matter what evils he had done to that point in this life, the Lord's saving grace was given to him. This is true for anyone who asks for it, even me.

I pray for the people of the Mid-East. There is no reason why I shouldn't. I guess this is what you are talking about. I also pray for the leaders in power. I pray that the Lord will guide them and help them make the right decisions according to His will. I pray for His grace and mercies on all people.

Matthew chapter 5.
44 But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you;
45 That ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust.
46 For if ye love them which love you, what reward have ye? do not even the publicans the same?
47 And if ye salute your brethren only, what do ye more [than others]? do not even the publicans so?
48 Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect.

That person is either a xtian pretending to be an athiest to instigate hate towards atheists by other xtians (like they need help), or a very immature person wanting to instigate hate in general because they are bored and want attention. I tend to think the latter.

Father,
I lift up this person who is in need of salvation. I ask that you place someone in their life that will open the word of God to them, and lead them to Jesus. I ask the Holy spirit convict their heart and fill it with the desire to get to know Jesus, and turn their life over to Him. I ask this in the precious name of Jesus, amen.

I have compassion for him. He's very, very lost. But the good news is that NO ONE is so far gone that Jesus can't save them. NOBODY!
Our response should be to pray for this misguided person. Like other athiests, he just simply doesn't know what he doesn't know.
