Question:
You can offend theists by insulting their Gods or religious idols... So how can you offend an atheist? I asked this simple question earlier?

I asked this simple question earlier, but the answers were thinking of offending a human not atheist. I know atheists are humans but I'm talking about offending them spiritually as they have no God so how can one offend them?

We think, we do not get easily offended.

Personally, I'm offended that superstitious Christianity still exists in the 21st century. If you wish to offend even further, start lecturing me about how either Evolution or the Big Bang are supposedly impossible. That type of deliberate willful ignorance is what originally drew me here, six or seven years ago, and it still infuriates me today.

If you feel that "spirituality" implies some kind of supposed relationship with a god, or gods, you can't offend atheists spiritually. There are plenty of other ways to offend individual atheists however, if you get to know some of them personally.

Why would you need to? Or want to? Be better.....



Without making personal attacks, it isn't likely you could succeed in that specific objective. Unless you could prove God exists (good luck with that) or at least out debate them and find enough weaknesses in Atheist logic to make them back off (almost as unlikely but just about possible).



Simple..... "You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means...."

Since atheists have no sheared beliefs/values/views/dogma/practices etc there isn't something that will offend all (or even most) atheists. However that is not to say that atheist can't be offended on their own beliefs/values e.g. I find sitting on tables to be offensive.

Why? Why do you want to offend people who do not believe certain stories to be true?



To actually answer your question:

a) You could question their intelligence (but you don't seem intelligent, because you have to ask how to insult people)

b) You could question their knowledge about physics and biology and explain why only your god can have produced so many different planets.

c) You could tell them that your god is bigger than theirs

Well, think about how you offend a non-believer in fairies.



Now use the same insults, only with gods instead of fairies.



Mission accomplished!

Why do you need to offend people?



The whole purpose of debate and discussion is to present the facts and get other people to examine their opinions/reasons.



The point is to persuade them to see your arguments in a positive light, not to get their backs up and to refuse to listen.

God is one person. He loves humanity. He wants you to love humanity and do what God guides you to accomplish for the benefit of humanity. God is not offended by your insult. God does not have any religion.
