Like I said, if you were to study my environment I don't think you'd place me as theist. Raph, and possibly others, seems to have been blinded to that.
I wouldn't insult you by saying that you haven't thought about your position on god/ faith/ religion/ life/ death/ origins. Even though you are a biological machine and a mere product of your environment. It would be an ignorant thing to say, hence my objection to Raph.
Your answer was, and I quote: "Don't be a jerk".
If you're not a typical theist then why put Christian as your religion? Why should whether you are or not have any impact on your ability to answer a simple query without aggressive deflection?
Furthermore I don't consider asking you to tell me why you think your belief more legitimate than any other to be an insult, I consider it to be a fair line of questioning.
I also do not think any of the reasons you just gave justify any of your insults, your deflections, your blatant rudeness or your choice to put me on ignore. If you do not wish to answer the question because it makes you uncomfortable then you should come out and say so instead of resorting to Bill O'Reilly tactics, I would of dropped it had you done this. You did not, you chose to attempt to avoid the question by attacking me.
Your reactions to the rather simple question have been nothing short of shocking and I'm very sorry but I'm not ok with that.
