And the original post gave quite clear parameters for a "personal relationship". If your relationship doesn't fit into those parameters, you ain't got one.
And yes, it's an atheist forum. If you want to discuss this topic, go find a gawd forum where lots of people share your delusion. There are hundreds of them out there.
As for me, if someone comes into a place where atheists SHOULD feel safe from preaching and various types of WOO, then yep, after you have admitted, multiple times, that there is no way to prove your assertions, (yet still keep yammering about your delusion) you have painted a great big target on your forehead. At some point, you have to remember that this is OUR HOUSE. Not your personal pulpit. Not your (desperately needed gawd-worshiping) psychiatrist. If someone comes into your house and pours shit all over the floor, you have to get out the mop.
