Yeshua "Judge not". Ben Franklin " tart words make no friends". Yeshua "Let your light so shine before men that they may see your good works and glorify your father in heaven". While I think it really bad to publicize your acts of charity I believe letting your light shine would accomplish way more than all this arguing and name calling of non-believers.
Take a look at Yeshua's name calling. Or John the Baptist's. I decided to read the name calling by Jesus and His disciples and was quite stunned. You could start by reading Matthew 23.
Yes sir: Just now read the whole chapter. Jesus and John were bona fide prophets. I am not, and probably neither are you. I'm not going to take the position of berating someone about their beliefs. I don't mind pointing them to Jesus or explaining my beliefs. I will sometimes take issue with one who I think distorts or outright lies about Jesus as I often do with Paul.
Patriotism (and religion) is the last refuge of a scoundrel.
