A/N A dear friend of mine got insulted for her faith by an atheist. The flamer spoke against needing to give respect to others, 'Baby, it's the internet, and you don't have to be nicer than you want to be. You aren't here to make friends Or are you? My, that's sad. Also, how could I have respect for people who think they were created by an invisible man? That's just sad. A dog has more sense.'

What inspires me is how my friend handled it - which is beautifully. She laughed it off and goes on her way, being exactly who she wants to be - a follower of Christ

The song does have bite to it, which may not be something expected of a Christ-follower, but just keep the context in mind. I'm sure there are a few atheists out there who would love to straighten the flamer out. All respect going to them, I know all of them are not like the flamer.

Baby don't waste your time

You send your insults
Arrows aimed straight at my heart
Fended off with ease, you believe
That you're the one that's torn apart
Try as you might, you won't break my skin
'Cause you don't understand the person within
I'm stronger than you'll ever see

So Baby don't waste your time
You'll find I'm more than you can handle
Baby don't you see
There's so much more to me
I'm not letting you walk right through me now
So baby stop wasting your time

So I'm different from you
I choose to look to God above
You sneer at the thought
Jeering at something you know little of
Call me stupid, call me sick,
Call me insane, come take your pick
There's more important things than getting you back

So Baby don't waste your time
You'll find I'm more than you can handle
Baby don't you see
There's so much more to me
I'm not letting you walk right through me now
So baby stop wasting your time

Why do you try to fight me,
Try to pull me into shame?
Tell me why
Why darken your own soul,
to be in control?
Straighten up your act
See life's about more than that

So Baby don't waste your time
You'll find I'm more than you can handle
Baby don't you see
There's so much more to me
I'm not letting you walk right through me now
So baby stop wasting your time
