I can understand people can drift of thread but most at least attempt to deal with the issue of the thread first.

Sorry mate, this isn't a church and nobody gets to control what people want to say, within the context of the rules anyway. You're not obliged to reply to every single post, though forum etiquette is to at least consider any direct question and similar. You yourself complained about being overstretched; I said at the time there was a simple solution to that.

I take that as your view and wont ask you to prove it as I know prayer as I understand the concept works for me.

Quite apart from double-blind studies undertaken by organisations such as the religiously-motivated Templeton Foundation which say otherwise, you have already forfeited the right to talk about your opponents providing proof or evidence. Remember that whole thing you insisted about the burden of proof and who has it? Yes, this is where it bites you in the arse.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist.  This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair.  Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second.  That means there's a situation vacant.'
