hscvax!partridge has said that people who believe in God are stupid
assholes (his term).  The reason that this phrase works in turning
off believers who might wish to discuss God with him is that it
instantly proclaims him to be a boor, and, strange to say, even
non-believers tend not to associate with people who want only to
insult them.

The only answer to him is "you're another."  The difference is that
it can be proven in the case of partridge.
