A flower without a stem, is beauty waiting to die. A heart without love, is a tear waiting to cry.

"Anything that divides people breeds inhumanity. Religion serves that ugly purpose."
-- James A. Haught
Actually, trolling divides and causes dissension and serves that ugly purpose, whereas if a person believes in God, then that is comfort and no concern of the troller.

Tucholsky is an irrational moron, there is no logic in his premise nor, conclusion.

“Those who hate most fervently must have once loved deeply; those who want to deny the world must have once embraced what they now set on fire.”
 
 Kurt Tucholsky
Careful who you speak of like that - your words may be describing your own self.  What he is saying has a great ring of truth to it - only those who see it otherwise must be in total denial and do not wish to hear that ring of truth.

False.  A non-cannibal can "hate" cannibals without being a cannibal themselves.  Irrationality is revealed by rational thought and wallowed-in by blind faith.

“You cannot hate other people without hating your self”

 Oprah Winfrey
False.  A hater of others, because they are believers, is wallowing in their own bitterness and hate because of fighting against the pricks of God so hard.

"He that will not reason is a bigot; he that cannot reason is a fool; he that dares not reason is a slave."
-- William Drummond
It's very obvious that you are not wanting to reason, but calling yourself a bigot will not help your ego; lighten up on yourself - surely you don't enjoy labeling yourself a fool and a slave in front of so many posters, believers and not believers.  Whoa - slow down - don't beat yourself up so bad...

Actually, the xtians are doing the INITIAL trolling and dissenting responses do not constitute "trolling" in return, except to faith-blinded religious adherents who do not adhere to reason.

-- William Drummond

It's very obvious that you are not wanting to reason ...

Obviously, your religious faith blind you to the demonstrable reason and logic I've presented.  A bland assertion without evidence to the contrary is of no meaning or value.  There is a huge amount of archived evidence here that neither you, nor your fellow faith-blinded adherents demonstrate anything beyond a minimal ability to reason.

... but calling yourself a bigot ...

Your immature, "I-know-you-are-but-what-am-I?" non-rebuttal reveals your non-reasoning.
