Because I hate religion, I hate intellectual dishonesty, and I hate people who pick and choose things in their various religious texts. I hate people who make unfounded assertions and assumptions. I hate people who salute double standards and worst of all I hate people who try to act as if they are authorities on a subject when they have no formal education in it.
I have been reading this passage again, and I would hope that you retract your belief that I am: (1) being intellectually dishonest, (2) picking and choosing passages in scripture and (3) coming across as an authority on a subject without having formal eductation.
I made it very clear from the start that I do not feel that the bible is relevant. In terms of intellectual dishonesty, although my opinions about established facts obviously differ from yours, I am confident that the content of my replies is factually sound; I take pride in accuracy. Also, I never claimed that I studied philosophy academically.
I understand that you hate religion and all of the other things you mention, but I really think you should learn or at least try to have more tolerance and patience, especially when I am endeavouring to be courteous during the debate.
