If you were dealing with a regular nutjob christian your responses would hold more weight. But you're dealing with a pretty sensible deist. The approach you've chosen on this discussion is poor and unreasonable.
It is clear that Mystic is unwilling to examine the difference between reasoning and "feelings". This has been pointed out and he refuses to consider there is a difference. If you call that sensible, you can have it.

Are you his straw dog? Neither of you seem to understand that that means that I can comment on anything I like, too.
Your opinion is noted and dismissed.

I might have a retort for this... if it made any sense.
How very witty.

Except you forgot the crucial part of a strawman: the argument.
What Annik said was obviously hyperbole used to underline a key point: that you're a narcissistic little prick. That is not a strawman.
You kiddies have fun dreaming up smoke screens for your disingenuous little friend, I've got far better things to do this night than entertain your irrelevant quibbling.
