Some of the atheists I've interacted with have accused theists of being passive-aggressive. And sometimes, those accusations do carry weight. So I'd like to remind you that assertiveness, not passive-aggressiveness, is the best course of action.

Many critics of Christianity claim that the God of the Bible is abusive. It's easy to understand why they say that.
