(135,425 posts)It's possible to sometimes shame folks into just stopping with the intolerance like that by suggesting they talk about Abraham/Ibrahim with their pastor/preacher/minister/priest/Imam/rabbi/what-have-you if they don't believe what they're being told...
They won't back down with the person they're throwing their bigotry at, but they'll probably shut up about that whole "My God--THEIR "g"od" game...because unless they go to a church with a totally stupid and uneducated religious leader (and most of them have had some education--even if it's rather pedestrian and literal) the leadership will be able to show them the chapter and verse!
I will admit I don't have a lot of patience with people who are being mean just for shitz-n-giggles, like this emailer in the OP is; which is why I find it worthwhile to challenge their meanspiritedness and hit them with their own "Good" Book...and a couple more, to boot.
