I've been recently arguing with a christian on DeviantArt which may have been a waste of my time but he really said some stupid shit check this out.

scroll down to the comments which has me and him arguing (I'm Xlavoc BTW ) and here's the full transcript....
How in the world can capitalism kill? Surely you realize that communism kills (USSR), fascism kills (Nazi Germany), but capitalism?

I detest redundancy.
Your signature displays your ignorance. Capitalism kills millions of people a day with poverty, imperialism (The "wars" in Iraq, Afghanistan being prime examples) and such. Also Communism never existed (The USSR were never "Communists" but they were also capitalists since they had a class society) and Nazism IS capitalism as the picture in question is trying to point out (i.e. Fascism).
"Your signature displays your ignorance. Capitalism..."
My signature doesn't say anything about capitalism. http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/g/giggle.gif What about my signature is ignorant to you?

Yeah, good luck trying to convince any educated Americans of that. http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/w/wink.gif
The fact your a christian which is a clear sign that I may be wasting my time even speaking to you.
"Yeah, good luck trying to convince any educated Americans of that."
What "educated" Americans? I think the reality is quite vice versa since most Americans (actually called "USians" to be more accurate which "America" is a entire continent and USians claiming their "Americans" pretty much says about their imperialist attitude in a nutshell) are either uneducated or spoon fed 80 years of propaganda (The Red Scare, McCarthyism, Cold War, etc) which the latter is most likely.

I'm wasting my time talking to someone who's under the lie of stereotypes. http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/n/no.gif

USians? http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/g/giggle.gif If you want to refer to someone of North America, then call them North Americans. If you want to refer to someone of South America, then call them South Americans. If you want to refer to someone from Central America, then call them South Americans. The USA is the only country in the world with the term "America" in their name, so we call ourselves Americans.
"...are either uneducated or spoon fed 80 years of propaganda (The Red Scare, McCarthyism, Cold War, etc) which the latter is most likely."
Let's just stop right here, right now. I've talked to communists, (and) people like you. You will pretty much never differ from your views, because you grew up and/or have accepted all these things against America. America is the country where God restored His Church... there's gotta be intense opposition against it.
But I'm serious: let's just stop here. You're not going to convince me, nor am I going to convince you.
How should I properly respond to this person or maybe I'm wasting my time with him?
