I'm being juvenile? How so? I don't remember claiming to be really smart. I claim to be applying scepticism a lot, though.
Quite the contrary, atheism is very similar to growing up.
I'm very happy to have a sensible debate, anytime. But unsupported assertions are not part of a sensible debate. Neither are deception, logical fallacies or emotional manipulation. If you have something other than the above, I'd love to hear it. Or if you want to argue that any of the above should be part of a sensible debate, then present your case.
Will you accept as truth anything I say, without a good supporting argument and/or evidence? I hope not. So you shouldn't expect me to. Any standards you would apply to what I say you should apply to yourself.
For starters, calling someone juvenile but not saying why is a logical fallacy called ad hominem.
If you don't respect what I've said, then I'll either just label your fallacies or ignore your arguments completely as worthless.
Don't take it personally, the above applies to every apologist in the world.
The plural of incorrect is not correct, and the plural of anecdote is not data.
