What would be the problem with people trying to impose their beliefs on me? I don't share mine with them, why would I want to hear their views? On anything? On traffic, on snowbirds, on the cost of living? I don't share what I think with people in the real world, they should show me the same courtesy.
No. I'm sorry. You're just too, too TOO intelligent for me to ask such a simple question and expect you to have understood it. People with such native brilliance as yours are compelled by their massive brains to run off and answer questions that were not actually asked because well, the simple questions are just too simple to be worthy of their attention.
But I will try again, this time writing very slowly in the hope that your racing thoroughbred of a cerebrum might accidentally notice in passing the actual question being asked. Maybe if I number the idea you will be compelled to count along.
1) You were trying to accuse atheists of hypocrisy.
2) But you asserted that what the atheists did was the same thing the theists did.
3) Where is there hypocrisy in holding yourself to the same standard you hold others?

The hypocrisy is in crying that others are imposing their beliefs on you, and then responding by doing the exact same thing. If you were just minding your own business--like I do--then you have every right to be offended when someone gives you any sort of unsolicited opinion--on any topic.

Do you not remember telling me that I have Asperger's?
No. I remember asking you. You dodged the question with a remarkable defensive response.

Induction based primarily on the evidence of your posts. Your defensiveness regarding the question was merely the piece of data that pushed the hypothesis into full fledged likely explanation territory.
That said... I assure you. There is such a thing as Aspergers.
I don't know how to answer that, because I don't know what you believed to be true.
I've already said, more than once, that it's fine to believe that there is no God. The only thing that is wrong is trying to make ME believe it too, or that I'm somehow wrong for believing as I do. If you believe God does not exist, then that is the right answer for you, but not for everyone else. Everyone else must come to their own individual conclusions about what is right for them.

Asperger's is as much a myth as anything else we've discussed here. If you believe in it, that's up to you, but I call BS. You asked, I told you it didn't exist, and then you were sure.
That wouldn't be using deductive reasoning. That isn't even logical.
