I keep my bible beside my desk for situations like this.
Yes, even poor, stupid, non-christian ants own bibles.

Others answers to your question are very interesting... But being a christian and all, you have to expect going through all of these battles and to fight them, and to that i say, well done! we already won the war and no one else's words or opinions will change that (regarding to some of your other answerers)

You will not stop the Christian hatred. This is a new Church society. They feel obligated to divide the ppls of the world and that those who will not comply will be hated. Fear and Hate are the only messages they know any more. There is no attempt to be Christ-like anymore because they have forgotten what he said and will make it their goal in life to separate us all.

Bobkin,
A question I ask when people are acting judgmental, legalistic, haughty or proud and arrogant:
If the greatest of these is love, then what is the greatest sin?
See 1 Corinthians 13:4-13
God bless you and keep you.

HA! be my guest. regurgitatying scripture wont change anything though.
people are beginning to dislike your religion because its an archaic/medieval way of thiking . people tend to be progressives. religion creates conservatives.
eventually people will get sick of how conservatives hold people back and begin to talk poorly about them.
yo ucan call it the end of days or the end of the world or say that in the end times the christians will be preosexuted but the reality of the matter is that christianity is quickly becoming unpopular.
to quote myself: "to a christian the end of their religion would be much like the end of their world. from that i beleive its safe to assume that the end of the world is merely the destruction of a religion...christianity to be exact. not the destruction of all life by hands unknown."

If you're an atheist, then why just pick on Christianity? Pick on other religions as well.
Pick on the loonies who killed the nun, why don't cha?
