I thought it was hitting a reset button. No back peddling as my position remains the same.

The real problem comes when people use that belief in a creator and use it to hurt people. And we’ve got LOADS of examples of that happening.

You haven't heard of far more examples of ministries that offer help to people for every malady known to human kind?

Don't worry, you'll live.

No, just standing my ground and not putting up with the shit that was being hurled at me.

We aren't. It's all you. Oddly enough, having some insecure imbecile tell us how and why we think doesn't go over well. Go piss up a rope.

That's an issue with your perception I'm afraid  . You would think you wouldn't  go on failing for 60 pages but here we are and you surpass it by not only failing over 60 pages but then starting a new thread to continue failing  Hehe

Yes, we have, which is why we tend to not bother ourselves with those kinds of ministries. If you use your powers for good, we leave you alone. IF you use them to hurt people, this is what gets you on the fighting side of us.  This shouldn't be too hard to understand.
