You should probably read those things before you post them. Insulting you isn't an ad hominem.
You're wrong and you're hair is funny: insult.
You're wrong because your hair is funny: ad hominem.
I don't think you're sincere. I don't think you're open to changing your view on atheism, as you claim. I think you're just here to lead us around in circles.
Furthermore, I'd rather you didn't change your view on atheism before you change your views on what constitutes rational thought and honest discourse. I'd rather have you on 'the other side'. That's out of my control of course, we don't get to choose who agrees with us.
None of that makes you wrong about your views on atheism. It doesn't make you a bad person, either...lots of people don't put their best foot forward on the internet. It's a very anonymous environment and for all I know you're 12 and just having us on or 80 and breaking the tedium between cancer treatments. I'm in no position to judge you personally. Your internet persona, on the other hand, is a different matter. I don't see the point of continuing to engage you on this topic in this thread. I'm not going to put you on ignore or anything, your behavior in other threads or on other days might be a different story.
Best of luck with everything.
