How to annoy atheists?

  • Is there even any possible way to piss off an godless heathen if you are a Christian?  I don't think there is, since they don't believe in anything worthy.

    Kind of tired of getting sniped at here at my job in a Catholic hospital.  My godless supervisors are puzzled why I get mad, rather than accepting the playful slap across the cheek.

  • Don't let what they say get to you.

    Act as if you didn't hear any slights or blasphemies.  

    The sacrilege at a novus ordo church is just the tip of the iceberg to what you'll see in a "catholic" hospital.

  • You see, I was thinking something like: "Golly gee, you're funny!  Wish I could be a faithless coward like you!"  Or something like that.

  • Do your hospital policies cover harassment.  LIke rotten jokes and such?  Can you take a step in that direction to calm it down?

    But that would not be an honest statement, it would be sarcastic and it would show them that they were getting under your skin.

    You need a few humorous and clever quips to come back with (hopefully rendered in a charitable fashion)or take Capt's advice. But I prefer my way, of course. Depending on exactly what they are saying what you come back with.

    Any particular recurrent ones you can tell us about?

    Our very existence pisses off atheists, liberals etc. Why do you think they are so full of hatred?

    The best way to piss them off is to not take account of their jabs. Be kind to them. In this way you will "heap burning coals upon their head."

    I've had good results with this one-liner. You have to wait for the opportunity,
    though, because you can't just come out and say this, they'll say you've gone off
    the deep end and make a joke of you. But if you patiently wait, it's a charmer.

    Go about your regular activities, and it won't be long, since you work in a hospital,
    that someone will bring up brain waves, or thought processes in the brain, or
    how man's brain is larger than other animals so that's why he can have abstract
    thought, or whatever. WAIT FOR YOUR CHANCE. Let them step into the topic with
    their pride and smug atheism or evolution talk. Then you say this: But, we don't
    think with our brain.

    That will make them do a double-take. They'll have case studies, and drug lists,
    or medical textbooks, whatever. When it's your turn again, just say it: "But we
    don't think with our brain." They might even start raising their voice, or call
    security. That would be fun! When the officer arrives, just look at him and say,
    I told him we don't think with our brain, and look at him, poor man.

    When they demand evidence, tell them it's quite easy to prove. And let them stew
    on that for a while...............
