So he needs to die for saying something you disagree with on Facebook?

That's extremism.

That's moronic literalism.
"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great

You're right, what was I thinking when I took anything he said even remotely serious. Jokers will be jokers, after all.

Yeah, wouldn't lose a second of sleep if that douchebag offed himself. Not one single second.
That aside I was in fact making a joke. (One you were apparently unable to catch.) Next time I'll break it down for you barney style.

Good call.
But don't waste your effort. Literalism is SOP for some christians.
I reject your reality and substitute my own!

That's just you not caring whether he lives or not. Earlier you said that he must die. Minor correction.

Yeah, I realize that now. I'm just hoping that the entire thread topic is a joke as well. It would be consistent with your first little joke. Again, jokers will be jokers.
I do my fair share and laugh.

Did I say that he needs to warn me? He can feel free to do so if he bothers to.

I'm sure you understand how torn apart I am when it comes to evaluating whether he's making a joke or making a serious intellectual argument. Blurry line.

If religion is ended, then how will I control the mindless masses when I'm president of the world?

Well in the middle east if you strip religion of its power over the government you pretty much saved them from themselves.
