1) They have a mandate form the magic guy to "save" the nonbeliever?
2) Fear makes them want to control everything around them?
3) For your own good? This is the go-to justification for any intrusive,
controlling actions which can't really be justified. It's very much in
vogue today.
4) Misguided perversion of "love"?
5) Alpha control freak personalities?

1) They are waiting for the dominos pizza guy to show up.
2) They want to talk with hot, good looking studs/chicks that have no
belief in a god.
3) They have a belief that our porn star bodies and scientific
mindsets will rub off of them.
4) All of the above.

For the trolls, the existence of the atheist gnaws upon their cognitive
dissonance. It makes them terribly uncomfortable that someone doesn't
believe in their fairy. So much so that they would even lie and say
that the atheist hates god or denies god. All that hate is a result of
their inner conflict.

I don't - I spend about twenty minutes a day trying to
prevent the next world war - "The First Nuclear Religious
World War".
Why? Because this war could well wipe out half of
humanity....all in the name of imaginary gods.
Now if you are fed up with atheists challenging the
existence of your particular god, then present your god -
then we will all disappear.
Until then we will continue challenging juvenile, primitive
myths that inculcate so many human minds

First sentence: Insult.

Ok, I forgot lie. In Duke-speak, help means threaten, belittle, and lie.

Does that excuse work with your god? Would Jesus respond to petty insults
