See, if I say, 'MysticKnight, you're about as coherent as a rabid howler monkey on angel dust', that is an insult.  If I say, 'MysticKnight, your arguments regarding the existence of God all fail because  you're about as coherent as a rabid howler monkey on angel dust', THAT would be ad hominem. 

I hope this clears things up for you.

Context is key. If it's done in reply to an argument, it's obvious a way to belittle the argument.

As the threads filled with these insults are always in reply to proofs of God presented by me,  it is a way to resort to implying the second, but people won't state that way obviously, because it sound illogical.

Instead their replies are just mockery and insults.

Your "arguments" for your personal god have been found wanting so many times that mockery and insults are all you deserve.

No, it isn't a way to belittle the argument, it's a way to belittle you.

PissyNight, I don't respect you enough to take anything you say personally.

Zilla, you know why he's here.
Even his muzzo mates think he's batshit crazy! That's gotta say something!

Please take your meds MK. Seriously. You've gone down the rabbit hole so deep, you're now completely lost.

You need to take a break.  Maybe a permanent one.  You need to get it through your head that most atheists here on AF do not find your book of fairytales seriously, and never will.  You need to accept that.  Stop talking at people.  We don’t like it.

He calls US butt hurt. Hilarious  That's just provocation. And then wonders why we smack his little hienie with a bit of logic.

Disagree? Provide EVIDENCE.

We've got to learn to stop asking this of him, because he is so lost in his theistic delusion that he genuinely believes he has already provided threads and threads filled with evidence.

This.  Better that he should murder logic and reason, because that way the only one he hurts is himself.

^ If MK was comfortable with his belief in God, he wouldn't be here at all.

He's struggling with doubt. He fights those doubts by upping the voltage on his delusions ... Dunno
We are just his emotional punching bag. Extremely rude of him if I do say so.
