This is that warning.
If you want to talk to me, and I don't care whether you do or not, then you will do so like a mature adult.
By the way, I went to Barnes & Noble the other night and bought two books:
Did Jesus Exist? by Bart Ehrman and The Case for the Real Jesus by Lee Strobel.
Guess which one I'm going to enjoy quoting most?
Nobody cares about your ignore list, Randy. Nobody cares about your dramatic warnings. Nobody cares that the big, primitive gears in your head go "GA-JUN...GA-JUN...GAJUN" to make your thinking parts work.
What we care about are facts. You are pretending things are facts when they are not facts. You are ignoring arguments that crush yours into powder. You are appealing to authority, cherry-picking scriptures and books, and attempting to use rhetorical tricks and emotional arguments to bring "facts" into the discussion as presuppositions without having to prove them (even though the presuppositions themselves are mostly wild, unsupported claims). You also can't seem to get your primitive mind to ingest the fact that no matter how you try to twist things around, you cannot use elements of a claim to prove that claim.
Your facts have to be verifiable by something besides the bible, and nothing you have shown us has been convincing evidence to that effect. That is why nobody takes you seriously, and that is why some people (myself, at least) are getting more and more harsh as you continue to offer us the same destroyed arguments as if we didn't just destroy them on the last page. The only explanation I can come up with is that you really don't understand these arguments you're making well enough to see them for what they are. Besides, I haven't exactly been a picture of politeness thus far when addressing you and your broke-down rhetorical failings.
Verbatim from the mouth of Jesus (retranslated from a retranslation of a copy of a copy):
"Do not judge, or you too will be judged. For in the same way you judge others, you too will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you. How can you see your brother's head up his ass when your own vision is darkened by your head being even further up your ass? How can you say to your brother, 'Get your head out of your ass,' when all the time your head is up your own ass? You hypocrite! First take your head out of your own ass, and then you will see clearly who has his head up his ass and who doesn't." Matthew 7:1-5 (also Luke 6: 41-42)
