And how would you react to anyone who said you were lying in those posts?
And my response was "Yes, if I deemed the threat (which you proposed) to be real."

If I can judge that the threat is real, I have no pride hangup in allowing a person to think they've won so long as my family or my person is safe.
This just goes to show how much you are actually interested in discussion rather than preaching. You already had a script that you intended to go by, and after clearly not reading my response, you plowed ahead as if I responded like you wanted.
Man, are you disingenuous. If you are going to attempt to represent my position (and guess at Thump's), please read it first.
"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
