Not to mention it's a shifting of the burden of proof. For shame, MK, I would've thought you'd know better than that.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'

We're supposed to be nice, not accurate, when the religious are bullshitting us. 
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

It's also nice when people don't claim to have established something they haven't established.

My almighty invisible snarfwidget is real, not my baggage you don't want to see that, I have established it. You are simply being a jerk not swallowing my naked assertion blindly.

After a very long conversation with points and counterpoints, it's convenient to just dismiss it.....I think there is a lot proven in that thread.
But I will be re-doing the same conversation with similar points in the ultimate value and it's sign in ourselves thread. We will get there inshallah. Perhaps someone may remember or at least fear the high chance of it being true which may lead somewhere.

Yeah, fear leads plenty of places, inshallah. 
I think that when you reach the point where your hope is that repitition will cause people to agree or tremble, you're probably dredging the bottom of the islamic barrel.
