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".

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.

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

I sometimes like to poke them with a stick.

i gave up about 30 years ago.....countless arguments with friends and family and never once "converted" anybody......you can use science and logic and common sense til you're blue in the face but they won't budge (sigh)

For me, it's open season on religitards. They usually end up giving up on me with ad hominem attacks which show them for what they are. The reason behind why I tangle with them is the lurkers. The ones with their mind half made-up. The ones looking to be convinced one way or the other.

I'll be disrespectful back to someone dishing it out, yet can hold my own with logic and common sense. What I like is making an open display of their belief when they don't have an ounce of evidence to back up their claims. Just recently I had a fundie say that god's murder of first-borns in Egypt was cool.

Mic drop

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....

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!

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.

No I elieve in live and let live. As long as my feelings are receprecated. To me taunting would be a mute point. It's been my experience that you, or at I can't teach an d sog new tricks. Without knowing you better
I'll leave it at that!

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

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.

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.

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.

only if they come to the door and im already naked lol

Yes, but I use big words and recite passages they haven't read in order to keep them oblivious.
For added fun, I might read them a passage from the Koran if they seem obtuse.

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’

To be honest I don't know how to approach them as I really think they are truely misguided and sometimes stupid and unthinking. The smartest people can be religious. They are so into their belief that nothing you say can sway them, they have every hole covered with one reason or another explanation. I leave them, respect their right to believe what they want, as long as their belief system does not impinge upon my basic freedom of rights and live my life and believe what I want to believe.

No, just stay away from them. No problem with them if they don't encroach on us.

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

Ah yes! Sacred cows make the best hamburgers.

I really try not to, just like I don't want them telling me how sinful my lifestyle is. However, when it comes to pro-lifers who love the fetus and hate the baby, let them have it! I won't go out of my way to attack people's beliefs unless the believers feel that their beliefs somehow trump my human rights.

Maybe I do. My wife said Thank God about some silly thing. I had to say something. I said here's a story. Two woman on a plane sitting next to each other. Something hapoens and the plane crashes. One of the ladies says Thank God I'm alive. The other lady looks at her with her dead newborn in her arms.
