My first inclination was to chastise him for his rudeness, but the idea of "do unto others......" was so imbedded in my psyche that I made a conscious decision to do otherwise. See, religion does moderate one's behavior.

Or it turns you into a pompous ass?
If you choose to enter into a debate that discusses challenging systems of belief you should do so under the expectation that someone might tell you he or she thinks you're off your rocker for believing in a "mythical space fairy" or for thinking that something came from nothing.
The fact of the matter is that perception is everything. You take the leap of faith to believe that this world just IS, or you take the leap of faith that God made it the way it is, or you find yourself somewhere in the middle.
Personally I think the universe always was. There was no beginning, only recycling.. infinite recycling.
