Default Fun with my local news website's forum.

www.soonews.ca/forum.php

So I was having some fun trashing jesus, when I noticed I had angered a large number of people in my hometown. My comments have been along the lines of "Jesus is burning in hell with Satan", or "Jesus is a homosexual, an alcoholic and a major LOSER".

Somebody even went so far as to say that I have comitted a hate crime! I would really appreciate some help here insulting the christ!

Pointless antagonization is not very useful.

Internet drama is not activism. It's one thing to joke around in the company of friends, but another thing to be rude to strangers for no purpose other than mindless entertainment.

No, but it can be fun.

How is it fun to make an ass of yourself by spreading absolute non-sense about Jesus and cement stereotypes about immoral atheists?

The comments he mentioned are complete nonsense, he is making an ass of himself, and I have met people who only know atheists from people doing stuff like this. Where's the strawman?

Nice claim without any support.

Do I really need to connect the dots?

I said that pointless antagonization can be fun, and you responded to me saying:
"How is it fun to make an ass of yourself by spreading absolute non-sense about Jesus and cement stereotypes about immoral atheists?"

I don't enjoy antagonizing people and I don't really understand how other people do. And I think doing this gives atheists a bad name. Where's the problem?
