Okay, this is what I'm saying. You're apparently a moderator in this forum and you can ban me. Instead of challenging my assertion that atheists throw out God because they don't like the Church. You get on this high horse about being offended.
Two others have just posed some serious topics of discussion, but I'm not going to respond to them, because I'm expecting you to ban me at any moment, and I don't want to get into a conversation with them, only to have you terminate it. You don't like theists, or at least not theists like me, and you're heating up this string for no reason.
Let me say this, as well: I'm not here to impress you. I'm not here to make you like me, and I'm not applying for a job. The bottom line is, if you want discussion with theists, then you're going to have to get off this bit where every word I type is an insult, bad impression, wrong start, etc.
So, I'm going to go mow my lawn now. I'm not going to return to this thread. I'm out. If you want to fight with me, do it in my blog, or send me an e-mail.
