My favorite insult to fling at arrogant, self-righteous fundies who try to bully me is to reply to their whole superiority trip by saying, " You may think that Jesus loves you, but personally, I think you're garbage wrapped in skin".
"Don't call me a monkey!"
Love Jeff Dee.
@J75243 They lost a few hosts over the last week or two due to the kerfuffle...although Matt hinted Sunday that there may be hope some return (Jen, Tracie, John, and Phil have quit the show). In any case, people in the live chat were asking for them to reach out to Jeff Dee to return to hosting, which would be great. I remember he used to do one of their podcasts for a while after he quit hosting AE years ago, but I think he had stopped doing that for sometime now also (I could be wrong).
“We all have our cross to bear!”
Is it a BDSM cross?
I got you now ,who caused the Big Bang?
In science we don't pretend to know all the answers, we believe that the answers are knowable without the need of the supernatural.
each scientist builds on the work of the previous.
and when we've gone as far as we can go we leave it to the Next Generation.

I feel it in my heart that god exists and you can’t convince me otherwise. What do you have to live for if there is no god?
Arn't you worried about your soul, as if the argument beyond that gets very far. They can't get their brainwashed minds around the idea that in our minds such a thing is a pointless worry.
"But what if you're wrong?"
"That's not what the scriptures says."
"You're just angry at god."
" What if you're wrong".. I've heard that one a lot and my response is the same ? back to them. They refuse to consider that possibility and I walk away saying that we are each only responsible for ourselves, nobody else and that we'll both find out when we die. Until then, it will be unknown.
I also like #3, " You're just angry at God", to which, if I had already bothered arguing with them at all, would probably lead me to say, "Nope I'm not angry at a god I don't believe in, but I sure am tired of idiots like you".
Reminds me of a joke a stand up said, "St Peter was at the Pearly Gates with thousands of people waiting to get into heaven. He announces that the catholics were right and so all the jews, protestants, muslims, etc were condemned to hell. Sorry!"
I don't debate them, remembering " Confuse not the minds of the ignorant, they will only hate you for it".
You may have logic, science and hard facts but we have.................
Here's another stupid comment I often hear. "If God didn't make us who did?" Wrong question I reply, it's how did we get here, as who implies someone was around to make stuff, and hen the question has be how did god get here? At some point, god or not, something must come from nothing.
God is not a creation God always was.
but if that's the case why can't we skip a step and say the universe always was
