tl;dr
Insert person A: Hardcore fundamentalist christian
Insert person B: Extreme liberal postmodernist atheist
Insert me: Just does not care

Insert problem: The two have been going at it for months, you know the drill blah blah blah blah blah.
The atheist thinks that religion is a mental disorder and that all religious people are fundamentally genetically inferior.
The christian says that gay is a mental disorder and that all...
You know what forget it, you already know where this is going.

What is a good come back to how the two want to drag me into their bickering that would make them both shut up and never talk about it again?

Tell them that there is no way either one of them can prove there cases. You could say that almost anything is a mental disorder. You could also tell them to shut the f*ck up because nobody cares if you are christian or atheist and that they are making fools of themselves trying to argue a point that neither one of them has any actual comprehension of.





and like that other guy said .. you can choose you friends... just walk away when they talk about it

Try turning that atheist into an agnostic, agnostics are usually more open to the idea of a "god" but dont necessarily believe in it. Try convincing the Christian to read the bible, thoroughly, it will discourage him from Christianity, because it's so boring, and if he/she reads it, they probably wont find anything about gays or anything else they are feuding about. Most people just here that gays are bad from other Christians who havent read the bible who heard it from other Christians who havent read the bible who heard it from other Christians who havent read the bible, etc.

It is obvious that you two like to argue, and both of you want to be right, and like Einstein said: "If you keep doing the same thing over and over expecting different results, then you are insane.

The atheist is right, but he is an idiot for letting the fundy suck him into an argument. You seem to know better. You can only hope or pray or whatever you do that the atheist will grow bored of the inanity. The fundy will not. He will debate and witness until his dying breath,

1) Move away.

2) Buy some headphones, and turn it up loud when they start.

3) Give up, and accept that person A is correct, because person A will never give up.

We are ALL Hard Agnostics. All theological experiences (or the lack there of) are personal and subjective. NO ONE know what happens when we die for sure.



Some people identify themselves as "a-religious" meaning not religious or nor interested in discussing religious topics. This is independent of their theistic feelings.

The best come back is in a 100 years (or less), none of this will matter. It's a waste of energy.

Tell them that you're going to turn this car right around, and NOBODY will be going ANYWHERE!

How about tossing Rodney King at them? "Can't we all just GET ALONG?"



Otherwise, if it isn't YOUR fight, MYOB.





Forgive others as I have forgiven you.

I don't bicker. There's no point.



But I do point out when atheists aren't following their mindset to its logical conclusion.



Hyper-emotionalism has no place in the supposedly, cool, logical atheist rationale. Unfortunately, they're positively swimming in it.

It sounds like you better strengthen your own faith, first, before giving others advice, because if you tell others to have faith and you don't have faith yourself, you are a hypocrite, sorry

If it bothers you so much, stop talking to them.
