I'd be happy to have a conversation on the topic of Atheists and Anger, but not with an angry person. It's not possible to have a productive conversation with an angry person.
Sometimes the point of having a conversation with a person is not to convince them they're wrong (you won't) but to demonstrate to others why they're wrong. If you think she's wrong, go ahead and explain. Just because she or I might not agree doesn't mean you can't get your point across.
