Oh, I dunno. Catholic Lady was fairly bright and very, very nice. Tackattack was also pretty pleasant to have around.

Don't know the second one and first I deemed to be neither bright nor nice.
The first revolt is against the supreme tyranny of theology, of the phantom of God. As long as we have a master in heaven, we will be slaves on earth.

Oh I don't know, @TheWhiteMarten set a pretty low bar, bless him. His opener was to compare trans people to a fictional murderous monster, created by science. It had troll written all over it...he did seem to have given up even pretending of late as well, nothing but ad hominem. It wasn't even funny ad hominem...
In my experience theists on atheists forums are invariably trolls, fools or foolish trolls. He was simply another clown in long line of clowns.

Fair enough - you’re entitled to your opinion. Agree to disagree, I suppose.

It's unwise to speak ill of the dead whilst their compatriots live amongst us.

If a creator god is outside of existence, isn't it dead? 
IDK
Gods weren't always described this way. But as our ability to search for them became more refined, the further away they had to be hidden to account for the fact that we never find them. It's impressive; we've managed to shove god right out of our universe, right out of our reality, and finally out of existence itself.
"Well, evolution is a theory. It is also a fact. And facts and theories are different things, not rungs in a hierarchy of increasing certainty. Facts are the world's data. Theories are structures of ideas that explain and interpret facts. Facts don't go away when scientists debate rival theories to explain them. Einstein's theory of gravitation replaced Newton's in this century, but apples didn't suspend themselves in midair, pending the outcome. And humans evolved from ape- like ancestors whether they did so by Darwin's proposed mechanism or by some other yet to be discovered."
-Stephen Jay Gould
