If I think of something as foolishness I tend to just ignore it. These people go out of their way to mock Christianity and Christians. Dawkins and his breed of professional atheists are especially obsessed with castigating belief. Why? If they’re right and this physical existence is all there is then what’s the big deal when someone else believes differently and lives a kindly life because of it. I know there’s a monetary gain when they can sell a book, but it takes some passion and a lot of effort to write the damned thing. The raw hatred that drips from their words comes from someplace and it’s not a good or healthy locale.
You said ... “If I think of something as foolishness I tend to just ignore it. These people go out of their way to mock Christianity and Christians.”

NOTE ... “these people” are ALSO FReepers, and these FReepers don’t simmply ignore it ... they go OUT OF THEIR WAY to do exactly that, as you say.
It’s ACTUALLY going on with me, right at this very moment, with another FReeper, who CANNOT AVOID hassling and haranguing and obsessing over it! ... LOL ...
Some people do not want to live and let live. They want to personally dominate.
