Maybe impulsively responding to every religious post with an insult isn't a good idea.

I agree. Many people fail to see the emotions behind words and actions. They get too challenged by the ideas and beliefs themselves. No empathy or compassion.

I lied to a boy when I was younger because he was so distraught and told him they in fact do go to heaven....and because I was still fresh losing my father I told him kitten is with my father in heaven. Meh.

Thats not surprising a lot of atheists lack empathy..

Oh animals in eternity..

(Isaiah 11:6-9) "The wolf also shall dwell with the lamb, and the leopard shall lie down with the kid; and the calf and the young lion and the fatling together; and a little child shall lead them. {7} And the cow and the bear shall feed; their young ones shall lie down together: and the lion shall eat straw like the ox. {8} And the sucking child shall play on the hole of the asp, and the weaned child shall put his hand on the cockatrice’ den. {9} They shall not hurt nor destroy in all my holy mountain: for the earth shall be full of the knowledge of the LORD, as the waters cover the sea."

The go to reaction is to hate everything related to religion. I think it's lazy.
I understand it but still think it's lazy.

It absolutely isn't.
It accomplishes nothing.
Disagree, discuss, debate, sure. But responding to someone sharing a religious idea with "that's dumb and so are you" is childish, spiteful and pointless.

it is when you're a sad bastard with nothing else better to do

I did not insult you. I compared your ludicrous argument to a situation in which someone was murdered for threatening to call the police. You then made the claim that the two situations were quite different, when they most definitely were not.

Was that website Yahoo! Answers, by any chance? Because I remember a question like that, and if you recall, I answered that they would have a reward according to how they behaved in life.
