Yes, because you'd never sink that low, would you Chad?
Also, please don't mistake being unconcerned over your undemonstrated but shrilly asserted god claims with not having a consistent philosophy. An effective view of the world doesn't get hung up over fiat claims, nor is it uncomfortable in simply acknowledging those areas where we don't know everything yet. In fact, both of those things are what lead to this willingness to tear down flatly asserted ideas like "atheism is nihilism," or Kalam, or whatever special pleading or baseless dismissals you feel like bringing to bear on the responses to it, because that philosophy recognizes the harm that religious logic can bring.
We point out that you're dulling your knife with such fallacious logic, your only response is to claim we have no knife at all, and yet you accuse us of only tearing down your ideas?
