22. Your defensiveness tells all.

The audience knows the score, no matter how much you squirm and deny the obvious. The funny part is, though, that you could gain the upper hand at any time if you just admitted your comment about the church bulletins was unnecessary and intended to mock and inflame. You'd be the hero. The adult. The person taking charge of the situation and working to resolve the conflict instead of escalating it.

But you just can't. Evidently for you to admit error or even unprovoked misbehavior toward atheists is too difficult for you to bear. So you throw more snarky comments, more childish attacks, more lame one-liners, until everyone gives up and you "win," sitting in the pile of shit you created.

Turn the other cheek? Hello no!

Love your enemy? Fuck that!

Fling shit and deny, deny, deny. Yeah, that's what Jesus told you to do! Way to go, rug! What exemplary Christian behavior!
