The best way to insult your enemies.

• Have backup

This concerns an issue I have noticed on this forum. RF non-believers do not support other non-believers enough, unlike what I experience on atheist forums.

I don't have enemies.

Would you like one? I am not too busy at the moment. (Well I am engaged in light torture of my father, but that should not take too long).

Oooh! Thanks! But I think I'm a bit to busy at the moment with doing absolutely nothing in my first month of retirement.

Thanks though..

Too bad. I just finished torturing my father (I cruelly would not let him remove his nebulizer mask so that he could get some breathing medicine). A little physical terrorism (or was that therapy) so that his legs were relaxed and now he is sleeping. I told you I would have time on my hands.

Maybe tomorrow.

If there were a God who'd pass judgement in favor of believers and punish non-believers, then how would such a God treat a split-believer/non-believer personality? ....

You do now.
(I'm generous in that way.)

Do you bite your thumb at me sir?
No sir, I do not bite my thumb at you, but I do bite my thumb.

Game. Set. Match.

I remember when I was a kid and the Watergate scandal was the lead story, I heard people talk about Nixon having an enemies list. As a kid, I thought that was just the coolest thing, so I decided to compile my own enemies list.

However, if I truly had enemies, then I wouldn't even bother insulting them. They'd be non-existent in my life - on "permanent ignore," so to speak.

Opponents are a different matter, though.

The freedom to do nothing is ultimate luxury.
Allowing yourself to do nothing is a priceless skill.

Some odd chap at my school had a list of people he wanted to kill. One of my friends was on it.

We found it hilarious, but, fortunately, I didn't grow up somewhere with mass ownership of guns and a history of school shootings otherwise it would have been a lot more sinister.

Reminds me of this funny scene from an otherwise horrible movie:

I don't have enemies.

Wow...either you're super nice, or suuuuuuuper scary and you've already buried them.

Why would I support non-believers?
I just support people who make good points, and are open to communication.
I don't really care if they're non-believers.

Watch your flank.

I would say this is the most important. Don't go overboard so that you give a point to your enemy to strike back.

RF non-believers do not support other non-believers enough, unlike what I experience on atheist forums.

The non-believers here can manage on their own.

How to insult your enemies, turn you back and walk away, they are not worth the effort.

Supporting those who think as you think tends to be a religious trait... I assume because they need support.
