You then said that somehow proved that my claim that the Spanish Inquisition lasted around 350 years was wrong. I then pointed out that the inquisition began in 1480....let's see… 1480 + 350....1830!!!!! Oh my goodness! I guess I was right, it did last around 350 years. Thanks for playing, talk about borderline lying though.
Fuck! The Inquisitions began in the 12th century. You are citing the dates of the official sanctioning of it in Spain. Just because an official office of inquisitors was not established until the 1400s in Spain, does not mean people were not dying at the hands of inquisitors before then. Count all of the deaths or stop wasting my time. Besides, all of that is beside the point. Again, there was more than one inquisition. You are only counting one and you are still standing beside your ludicrous statement near the start of this that more people died in one day in Cambodia than in all of the inquisition. You failed to recognize more than one inquisition throughout this, despite the whole point of it being that Christianity is responsible for rampant death throughout history. Instead of facing it head on, you make fucking excuses, "Well, those guys killed more." "Well, it happened so long ago." "Well, they weren't really Christians." I am going to say this one last time and if you don't get it, tough titty. According to the Bible, god chooses Christians. That is all. You don't get to say who is Christian and who isn't, according to your deity. Seeing that I am not Christian and atheists are not decided in the same way, yes, I can say a person is not atheist if he clearly believes in god. You just decide who fits what bill according to what would make you feel more justified. It is asinine.

I guess maybe I don't take things as personal as some do on here. Kind of makes me wonder how they'd react if I called them some of the names I have been called on here. I am a bit scared to even consider that.
Stifle the pity party. Just because you can be enormously dishonest and difficult to debate with because of it does not mean that people are taking it personally.
I think you have been called a dork. That is all I have seen. I sincerely doubt there would be a backlash worthy of fear if you called people dorks. Oh, I did call you a fucker, but the tone was meant to be humorous/sarcastic. You obviously do take things personally or you would not hone in on these "insults" every time they arise. You would ignore them, which you clearly do not. Of course, that is not to say that you are not allowed to be offended. As always, if something offends you or you feel you are being mistreated, talk to a mod or an admin.
