I taunted some fundies back in mid 80's ... hundreds of anti-abortion - anti-birth control people were in front of Planned Parenthood. Me and my companions were across the street. We had signs that read "Welcome Clinic Bombers" and "Barefoot and Pregnant is Fun". We chanted "Blow your whistle and toot your horn - we love kids UNTIL they're born!" and "Who me? I'm no queer - I have a baby EVERY year!" Some of the protestors came to us and told us that we were "sluts" and Daughters of the Devil" and "Tools of Satan". Then we sang "Every Sperm Is Sacred".

Never, like taunting an infant for not being able to walk.

Not unless they refuse to stop prosletyzing. After that, I’m less than understanding.

No-different strokes for different folks.

Not the average christian on the street. They rarely place themselves in the position to justify playing with them. Doorknockers are fair game any time. They get the full treatment, and no, it's not mean. They get taken for quite a ride. The street preachers are a special case and they, along with street missionaries, get raked over the coals....

hell yes

I like to taunt them with kindness. I like to innocently ask them questions they can't answer.

Only in my head... I guess I judge not taunt. I see no point in hitting that bees nest. All they do is freak out and try to sting you.

Never! I truly feel sorry for them because they seem incapable to live their lives fully, as every question ends in god instead of more curiosity and questions. But I do taunt religion every chance I get when they are particularly outrageous and in infringe on the human rights of others.

I only taunt them when they proselytize at my front door. They are asking for it, as I see it. And they are SOOOOO easy to spot. I tell them I'll give them 5 minutes to tell me about their god if they give me equal time to push my atheism. They always agree, because they are desperate to take ANY opening. But I then tell them we'd both be wasting our time and politely close the door on them. I'm not proud of the joy I take in this little game.

Reminds me of when Harry Truman was told to “Give ‘em Hell!” He responded, “I just tell the truth - and they think it’s Hell!” ...that’s how I ‘taunt the religious’

nope

No, I do not taunt them or tease them but I do make them think and they never bother me again.. What pleasure can be derived from shooting fish in a barrel?

And the street preachers with their hate speech signs and megaphones, yes, absolutely! They come out gunning for it and are deserving targets.

There was a Catholic Church that kept an office in my building. Over the holiday season I happily returned their "merry Christmas" greeting with Happy Yule Seasons and Happy Winter Solstice wishes. They also got a regular Blessed Be in return for their God bless you!

Not as long as they don't taunt me.

Yes. By ignoring them.

At the appropriate time and place, ABSOLUTELY!

You know, a taunt can actually be helpful to the person being taunted, it may be what it takes to get a stubborn person thinking.. I know this from experience - who hasn't been taunted in their life, and not made a change as a result of thinking about the basis for the taunting. I could have worded that better but you get the drift.

Yes. But only because they secretly want it.

Not unless I'm already in a strong, mutually trusting friendship with the person, such that I'm confident that they'd take it as something offered strictly as a jest.

Every chance I get.

When they keep trying to convert me to their belief, yes.

Ah yes! Sacred cows make the best hamburgers.

I put a crucifix on a string and dangle it over Christians' heads so they'll jump for it like a kitten going after yarn.
