Thread: Atheists, have you ever (in person) just laughed in a theist's face for

their beliefs? Would you consider that kind of thing rude, necessary, or both?

I generally blow a certain strain of illegal smoke in their face(s).

no! thats disrespectful. just because I have different beliefs to someone else doesn't mean they are stupid x

I find it rude to laugh at them when they are trying to have a conversation with me discussing theism and atheism. This happens a lot to me because of the area that I live in. I'm very polite, I listen (even though I've heard it hundreds of times before) and then respond in a respectable manner.

I don't have a problem laughing in their face if they are belligerent and annoying or crazy (literally). I've also encountered this many times in the area that I live in and I usually listen for a few seconds and then chuckle while I walk away.

Depends on the situation and what type of point I want to make. I welcome conversations with normal people who want to compare beliefs with non belief. I do not welcome conversations in which I am not allowed to give an alternate opinion.

I have on a few occasions. It has always been when they have threatened me with hellfire and I have responded with a laugh. It was necessary to be rude at that moment as mockery is the only deserved response to stupidity.

Yes, I have. I couldn't help myself. This guy told me that if I died while pregnant, I'd automatically go to heaven with my baby. At the moment, I was contemplating his murder, so it was pretty funny.
