Sorry if you take offense.
I'm new to this forum, but don't think that makes me new to atheist discussion groups (got tired of the woo-based political factions and poor format for interaction over on Patheos.com). After years of watching such discussions as this one, I really find Catholic Lady's apologetics as tiresome as they are insulting, and I just can't be cool about this particular issue when so many people are being harmed by her ideas. I can't be cool about this because those who suffer under her whims aren't just somebody else's future, they are MY future! Maybe you live in a different country than the US, if so you couldn't possibly understand.
The sort of person who argues like Catholic Lady is never going to shift her position, and will always keep up her damaging campaign to con hapless, uneducated people out of their rights to medical autonomy and freedom from religious harassment. If you think you aren't wasting your time entertaining her, then you haven't been around the atheist scene long enough.
Because most people don't think the way we do, and are much more willing to be agreeable than to deconstruct her house of cards, I reacted out of grave concern that more young minds are being raped by her now. What would you do if you witnessed a rape? Would you look the other way, or would you try and intervene?
I now notice you do have a lot of posts here, but she has twice your count. That means she's probably really good. She's knows our counter-arguments, having heard them almost as many times as we've heard every lame argumnent ever made by a theist in defense of their actions. That's the sort of person who is unfazed by facts, justice, truth, or empathy for those who their actions and ideas cause harm to, they care only about winning! That's why I don't believe she's worth encouraging in any way whatsoever.
Mr. Hanky loves you!
