They just keep knocking down straw men. When someone points to the error of their ways (trying to translate the Scholastic tradition into the language of modern analytic philosophy), they just prop the straw men back up and start over.
Do you have anything of substance to add to the discussion other than nuh-uh? Which are the strawmen that you are speaking of? Would you please elaborate on why you think the arguments thus far are garbage? What, exactly, is the error of our ways?
A little hint about discussion forums, it's hard to carry on the discussion of all you have to say is "you're wrong."
"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great
