The god who allows children to be raped out of respect for the free will choice of the rapist, but punishes gay men for engaging in mutually consensual sex couldn't possibly be responsible for an intelligently designed universe.

Oh, dear, he blocked me.

Goodbye, cruel world.

No one tell him it only means he won't see my mockery, please.

How about I quote everything you say in this thread, so he can still see what you're saying?

If you want to know why they are making fun of you in the way they are;

It's because you proposed an argument, and when challenged decided not to respond with evidence, or back up your original argument in the first place, you simply decided to insult, and act as though your argument was correct by default. 


You don't respect someone's opinion simply because they challenged yours;

then no one is going to respect your opinions either.
Which is better:
To die with ignorance, or to live with intelligence?

Truth doesn't accommodate to personal opinions.
The choice is yours.

Heat, just imagine I'm a guy trying to survive in "The Walking Stupid" Tv-show. Just get my perspective, for once.

See there you are again, insulting people, and acting like you are correct by default.

I tried to be polite, so that you could learn to have some more respect for people who oppose your beliefs.

But since you clearly ignored that, and did exactly what I pointed out as being the reason everyone disliked you, instead of taking my comment as the only person who actually tried to help you, instead of making fun of you like the others, i'm done with you. Simple as that.
