I mean.... why? You know... why? I mean.... you know?
it reminds me of the kid who likes to pop the balloons of other kids at birthday parties.

Because whether they want to believe it or not, they are under the influence of Satan, buffeted by pride (which is the worst sin in the Bible) and are convicted of their sin by Christians. We are told to spread the Gospel but also not to throw pearls to swine. Just pray for them.

Well... why don't you try thinking of it as a public service.
In case you haven't noticed, there is a 'cultural war' in progress. On one side, we have sanity, rationality and critical thinking. In the opposing corner, we have gullibility, irrationality, willful ignorance, self-delusion, intellectual dishonesty, drooling stupidity and hypocrisy (religion). This happens to be a battlegound in that war... essentially, a war of ideas.
We're not seeking to 'convert' anyone... that is futile. The systematic religious indoctrination (brainwashing) that has been inflicted upon the 'other side' conveys a demonstrable immunity to things like reason, logic, evidence and critical thinking.
However... I consider it to be our ethical duty and moral responsibility as sane, rational human beings to intervene, in the hope of protecting vulnerable, questioning young minds from being infected by the dangerous and harmful religious 'meme' (viral idea)... protecting them from droolingly stupid nonsense like this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6xKDKq_PPbk&mode=related&search=
Also... honesty compels me to admit that I have a kind of morbid curiosity and fascination in observing the alleged 'minds' of believers in action.

I am always in the general Society and Culture section. So, R&S just happens to be in there, and if I see something I want to comment on, then I do.
Don't assume we are all looking around in the r&s to stir up trouble, cause I for one, am not.

It's the direct result of a free society. If religion ruled the day we'd all be silenced, you included.

It's not "trolling" to call people on their superstitious nonsense and unsupported claims.
