How about fear the guys killing innocents and figure out... their driving ideology?
Better. This is a really simplistic response. Mitch McConnell and John Boehner say they're for democracy, but in reality oversee a party that has tried to turn our country into a plutocracy. People refer all sorts of motives as a proxy for power, greed, small mindedness, you name it. Witness the thousands of Muslims killed by other Muslims who contend that they aren't Muslim enough. How do you explain, let alone defend against, that?

This is a really simplistic response.
Reply from some one who's "all in" re: Christian mythology as his own driving ideology. Simplistic? I appreciate the irony!
How old's the earth? Can't remember, Did Jesus ascend to heaven in a chariot of fire on a whirlwind or was it just Elijah? Where is my immaterial soul in my body located? Remind me, is it in my pineal? lol

Even if his belief is simplistic in your mind, doesn't negate that your argument is simplistic. So your above statement is a straw man, as it takes away from the point. The real irony is that you call Christians simplistic, when in fact much of what you believe is simplistic.

Focusing only on the number of people killed by Islamaniacs is not the only issue.
How many millions of people have been impacted, whether by being displaced, extorted, having to defend themselves, repressed, etc. ?
A good response may be to flood the world with cartoons insulting sacred gods. (with a small g)

That's right. How many thousands of billions spent already? with no end in sight?
Yet according to climbski2, it's no top ten...
A good response may be to flood the world with cartoons
also porn, levis and big macs!!
.....
Okay, I can't resist...

No, I call Christian mythology simplistic, second only to its Abrahamic sibling... Islamic mythology.
(Please demonstrate in some year or other you have the ability to draw nuance where it matters.)

Another response:
Remove the tax exempt status of any "church" who clearly think their beliefs are above constitutional rights such as freedom of speech and religion. If you teach that your god can't PEACEABLY take unlimited criticism from everyone else, then at a minimum you should not get tax incentives.
might require a 1st amendment adjustment?
"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances."

Reply from some one who's "all in" re: Christian mythology as his own driving ideology. Simplistic? Appreciate the irony! Yet another example of your simple mindset and pithy, unsupported judgments. You don't know anything about me bucko. But then, if you actually stuck to stuff you know you'd likely have very little to say.

I can take it just fine HFCS.. I just chose not to as I find you most often to be boorish.
This is how your mind works.
You tried really really really hard to find god. You couldn't, at least to your expectations, so therefore. God doesn't exist.
Science can't prove that God exists. Therefore God doesn't exist.
And now.. in your butthurtness because you couldn't prove god exist to your satisfaction as though somehow this is a failing on Gods part and not yours, you piss on anyone else's beliefs. wah wah.. God should be available to me whenever I want. Cause I tried really really really hard.
If you can't see how simplistic those beliefs are, then you couldn't possibly understand anything else I might say to you.

Sure, a modern science education over a 2500 yo angel-and-demons mythology claimed as truth - yeah call me new-school but I'd say that was more superiority, lol!
