They’re fanatics. Utterly beyond logic or reason.

We have turned the other cheek in response to such fanatics for far too long. While that is essentially perfect guidance that I do my best to follow when dealing with normal people, it's the wrong answer when dealing those who exploit our virtues.

Then said he unto them, But now, he that hath a purse, let him take it, and likewise his scrip: and he that hath no sword, let him sell his garment, and buy one . . . And they said, Lord, behold, here are two swords. And he said unto them, It is enough. [Luke 22:36,38]

I believe this passage means that there is a time for the sword - but only in moderation. I also believe this is the time when we should no longer turn the other cheek, not when western civilization and freedom are on the line. The Ohio State House should either fight to the death for a real memorial, or replace their planned memorial with a discrete plaque explaining that the litigious bullies from FFRF, siding with Holocaust deniers, have prevented them from building a true Holocaust Memorial, and that any memorial without the Star of David would be meaningless.

I’m not ready to start shooting atheists. Too much paperwork, for one thing.

Violence is not the answer to this problem - we, as a society, simply have to start saying “No.”

BTW, the FFRF lost this one. I almost hope they sue.
