Serenity, I used to live among these types. I have one for you, if you haven't used it already. So when they continued asking him, he lifted up himself, and said to them, He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her.
BTW......we need to meet someday.

Remember GAWD! (with two syllables) is on their side. This kind of response will only encourage them to continue what they're doing. If you do manage to penetrate their shield of ignorance at all, you'll only enrage them. Some small percent of these people may go up to the next stage and get into violence or other serious harassment.
Think of it as being like making fun of the kind of gun toting southern rednecks who fought the freedom riders.
We have had a number of these kinds of people over the years going back to the ASPD days and before. In general anything other than refusing to respond only makes them worse, and a few have gotten to the point of being real problems.
