Don't be silly, snowy. I don't find free expression, here or elsewhere, in the least bit threatening; and if you have any complaints about my position as a Moderator then raise them in the proper channels. But that's all beside the point anyway, because your threats of judgement had nothing to do with free expression except on the level of trying to shut it down. What you were doing was playing the "believe me or burn" card and I called you on it. That showed me - and anyone else keeping score - that you have nothing of substance to offer on the subject on which you have been expounding at great length. Only lies and deceit require threats of retribution to bolster them; they cannot stand on their own.
And it doesn't matter if I believe in your threats or not. What matters is the intent behind the rhetoric. Were I to say that you as a person deserved to be torn apart excruciatingly slowly and what remains boiled in acid until it is as though you never existed, that gives away more about my attitudes and prejudices than it does about exposing your credulity. This passive-aggressive shit you're throwing around is childish in the extreme and has no place in what purports to be a scientific (in the loosest possible use of the term) discussion (ditto).
Incidentally, I'm left wondering why you ignored the rest of my post and simply focussed in on the last part?

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.'
