I said a lot more than that.

That's so histrionic.
Quote:It’s not s good reason to object to antirheism or even a reason not to be an antitheist because it has nothing to do with what antitheism contends. We knock shit like this down with regularity, as atheists, on the boards.
I don't object to antitheism. Ffs, follow the conversation. I'm starting to, because I find your attitude about it slavish.

No, I don't. Again, your equating the top three theistic beliefs with all of theism. You think because you can surmise the entirety of my view on theism based on my discussions here, which are nearly always about Catholicism and Islam. If you don't stop making assertions about my own beliefs, I cannot continue this discussion. I cannot even call it a discussion.
