In need of a more humbleness. Why condemning the Theistic position makes no sense.

You claim not to have a grudge and that could be true but you seem very bitter if not even able to recognize it yourself. Bitterness is a lot like a grudge except it is a knife in which we plunge into our own hearts so that they may become hollow, in this way a grudge does worketh death not of the person we hold the grudge against but our own emotional death that disconnects us from ourselves. You claim you're not bitter, and that may be so, but your character presents that you are.

Is this... honestly the extent of your argument? Nothing more than an attack on the character of the arguer, rather than the content of the argumentation?

"You don't agree with me, so there must be something wrong with you!" The catch cry of the religious-minded who can't approach an argument on its own terms, and so seeks to bring down the person daring to disagree with them via ad hominems. How dishonest. Dodgy
