In passing throughout history, our current times, and of course those not yet born. It doesn't really matter what kind of smile you put on your face, this is tyranny. Does that help you to understand the reaction you got?
Crystal clear. I appreciate this response.

Fucking crickets. You'll have to excuse me if that's not a conversation that I feel would be worth having. Theists aren't the only people who get an earful here, so stop with the suffering martyr card.
I don't need to play the martyr card, I have plenty of other cards I could have played instead. I just appreciate a response that isn't centered on attack. I told you that I saw how other Christians respond to you all, I saw what they said and I wasn't impressed, they came in angry and bent on making people feel inferior. I'm not here for that, I've had plenty of time to try my hand at it.
