Cutting the head off Medusa

[Brian37]

No one here is advocating hate, especially not me. But I do have every right to hate a claim, ON ANY SUBJECT, not just religion, and still like the person, even if I don't like that particular claim.

No, of course not. That explains why you came into a thread on FallenToReason's views on deism, and made two personal attacks on me, simply because I am religious — comments that had absolutely nothing to do with what was being discussed.

You may say you hate the claims and not the person, but your actions show that you're an ignorant, lying dickwad.

NO NOT BECAUSE YOU ARE RELIGIOUS

But because you have no good reason to hold your position. I defy you to show me where I personally attacked you. I most certainly attacked your position, sure, but that is ONE position on one subject. I am certainly sure you hold positions on a wide variety of subjects.

If we were debating which car had the best fuel mileage and I said "The Hummer" and you responded "bullshit, it is gas hog" would that be you personally attacking me, or would you be attacking my claim that Hummers are fuel efficient?

If all it took for anyone in human history to prove a claim was to say "I like what I believe" Then every claim every human has ever made in human history is true by default.

Now do yourself a favor and get over yourself. "Bullshit" DOES NOT MEAN " I HATE YOU, nor does it mean I will automatically hate every claim you make. This one topic on one issue.

No one is going to have you arrested for making claims they don't agree with. Instead of feigning a false martyrdom complex, and instead of taking it as a personal attack on you, try explaining why you hold the right position and stop complaining about my word choice.

Otherwise you have two options, don't respond to my posts, or put me on ignore. But if you chose to make another post to me that will be YOUR CHOICE, especially know that you know where I stand, if I have not made it clear by now, you will only be bringing needless stress on yourself, not me.

But do not expect me to make your baggage my baggage. I don't cower when things get heated and I do not take it personally and I think you are.
Don't torture yourself if you cant handle it, but don't presume that I have any obligation to give anything you claim special "hands off" treatment.

Ball is in your court now. I personally like the heat, it sharpens my skills and lots of times I see different arguments I had not heard before. But if you are going to take this personally, my advice would be don't engage me.
