Shell: sometimes when everyone is throwing rocks and you're engaged solely in throwing rocks back, as the conversations with Zaki have all sadly devolved into, such is the lack of actual opposition here, genuine questions like yours tried to be, with just the smallest of insults added for good measure, tend to become collateral damage.

I'm sure if everyone stopped kicking the heretic for a moment, and we let him breathe, he could respond nicely to you. As the mob is in full swing with this one already, I don't see them letting up.

Me I'm just sad at the lack of actual resistance we have here.

Do not deliberately misquote me to suit your needs.

The above is the original quote, though I just put the relevant information in italics.

If you want to actually discuss what I said in reply to your own statements about a topic you introduced, I am more than happy to continue. However, if you are going to continue to trail off topic and digitally laugh hysterically every time you blatantly misconstrue something I say, I will ignore you, at best. We already have one member who does that like it is his job. Two is more than I can be bothered with.

Oh dear! I've upset you, haven't I?

Look, this is easily cleared up: Are you now agreeing that the American continent actually already existed BEFORE Europeans even knew about its existence? And that belief or non-belief in its existence by Europeans was utterly irrelevant with regard to whether it actually existed BEFORE its discovery by Europeans or not? A simple yes or no will do - but take your time.

Mr. Zaki, you should totally start a cult or something. You're a great rearranger of other people's words, and I can see how you might be an effective manipulator. First you will need to find some people who need something to believe in, perhaps vulnerable. I don't know if you actually believe everything you're saying, like you're already in a cult, or if you're fully aware of your own ridiculous bullshit, but either way, the atheists here are not going to allow you to get away with making claims you can't even begin to back up with real evidence, or cherry picking our statements to better suit your mysterious purpose...

I read your posts and I see nothing but an over-sized ego at play. To people who aren't insane and do not accept just any old bullshit you hand out, you're transparent.

You jump around in circles like a used car salesman, and I am willing to listen to your pitch, but FIRST I wanna see the carfax report. Get it?

Go into politics, be a lawyer, be a golden clad mystic minister, cult leader, salesman, crazy street preacher, something. DON'T be the sorry fucker who comes onto an atheist forum peddling unfounded garbage. That's nuts...

Hahahahahahahahahah! I can see you're really upset. I can't help that though. I didn't force or manipulate anyone into say anything - and the record will bear this out. I'm content.

Yes Zak you could be the next Richard Dawkins! Mind you, you'd have to unlearn everything you know about philosophy and religion. There's big money in it fella!
