I am not changing the topic. the topic was bullying of proponents of Christian religion by a gay anti-bullying activist.
I am saying they tasted their own medicine; he never pointed finger to those particular students in the audience - no, they choose to take personally his remarks about religious bullies who attack gays. it's purely their taking on themselves his general observation.
did I ever claim those particular students employed the reasoning I mentioned? no. I said I have experienced, among other slights, this particular line of insult - not from one person, it is a typical line, and usually from American Christians - even from those who have encountered me and my Right-wing political views before. Again: this is typical of religiously-inclined, not only towards me but a general belief that believers have no scruples voicing quite openly, in the face of atheists.
Recently I met same line in a journal of Russian-American Jew - and her commenters (similarly religious) supported it.
This is just one example. There are plenty variations. In this regard, Christians would rather forget their religious differences and unite with Muslims and Jews (of all stripes) against atheists. Yes, I experienced that, too.

So, once again: let them taste their own medicine. And then to grow a thicker skin - as I was advised.
