the christian sport jacket

from a comment on an anti-atheist blog:
And more of this "Atheists are pathetic" stuff. You know, if I went through life thinking everyone who didn't constantly wear exactly the same sort of sport jacket that I do was inherently beneath me, I'd be a raging sociopath. You on the other hand, who demand strict adherence to another specific behavior to be treated as a human being, are not sociopathic, you're "Christian." How very nice for you.
If I become a Proper Christian(TM) is it absolutely necessary for me to insult everyone else under the sun? I mean will I actually be obligated to hate my Catholic mother and take joy in a supernatural system that will cause her to suffer eternally, because she picked a slightly wrong brand of Jesus?
Is it also necessary to completely eschew my intellect? I mean because I sort of like thinking about things and challenging my preconceptions, so is it going to be absolutely requisite that I just avoid dispassionate inquiry into all fields and force myself to ask "How does this prove God's wisdom?" about everything?
Also, since I actually like Argument, will I need to never actually address what anyone says in a debate, or any discussion about anything, and respond with the condescending "Thats a Good Question, but let me ask you, do you think you're a Good Person?" as though it has anything to do with anything, and compensates for my pathetic inability to respond fitfully to questions?
