it is not 'they do it, too". it is "they did it in the first place, and now they know how it feels on receiving end". I already said how it is relevant.
I am sure there were other Christians in this audience besides those 10 "victims". however, not all of them got up and made a show of indignation by walking out. that's the type of behavior I, as an atheist, am often advised to assume: do not take insults against atheists personally, if you do, you incriminate yourself and in what atheists are being accused of. Note I am not saying this is a reasonable or even logical advise - but that's what i often hear from religious people.
it's a 2-way street. be it jewish-christian, christian-gay, all confessions-vs-atheist situations; it's always helpful to remember that (intrinsically libertarian) principle -do not do anything to others that oyu don't want them to do to you
