You're obviously seeing a gradation of diffference between these two that I am incapable of perceiving. I wish my senses were more acute.

Let me explain myself. I had spent almost 5 hours debating the Christians, and it was just a vicious loop. We were all just repeating ourselves because they didn't think I was getting their message, and vice versa. I was sick of running in circles, so I decided I had better things to do than play "ring around the rosy" with a bunch of Orthodox blockheads. It wasn't giving up, IMO, it was just saying "you keep playing if you want. The game isn't worth my time anymore."

If that is surrender, then maybe I failed. I just see it as spending my time in a more beneficial way.

Bill,

You need to study this picture so you understand what you are up against with assholes like that.

Shut mine down years ago when I started to share some atheist quotes from various sources. A bit of a "coming out" so to speak. A bunch of people I went to school with got pretty butthurt and deleted me. Normally l would continue my barrage of anti-religious statements and not care, but around the same time a lowlife drug addict (also from school) made a highly immature false FB of me which they wholly refused to take down.
