    Text comprehension isn’t your strongest side, is it? But then again, religion has been suppressing education for centuries, so it makes sense.

      Though obviously I’d prefer a more civil exchange of ideas I can’t deny the ego boost of seeing someone give up. Once it’s down to name calling, it means you gave up on arguing your point.

      When people have the faith in their ideas to agree to disagree, they don’t need to resort to name calling. People feel threatened and lash out. It’s understandable.

          It’s not tone, it’s absence of content. Once you need to make it about me, it means you’ve given up on discussing what I said. What’s true is true no matter who says it, even if you were right about everything you said it wouldn’t change a single thing.

          Though if you could be polite too that’d be stellar. Manners and consideration are not weakness.

            “Religion is cancer” isn’t an invitation for a discussion. You said some nonsense about atheism being a religion - I’m not discussing that either, because that’s all it is - nonsense.

              You stopped discussing things several posts ago, I noticed. I told you that you did so. Why are you repeating to me what I said to you over my last 2 replies as if it’s news?! I’ve been snarkily complaining about it. It’s not news!
