You may be having fun playing with yourself, but you are making the religious look stupid and dishonest. You are to the religious what the friendship of Brutus was to Caesar.
That's why I stopped arguing with him and put him on ignore...frankly, he does our job for us.

That the religious can not handle honesty and logic is ALSO irrelevant. But once again thank you for mocking and attacking religious people with your friendly fire Pavlonian rants.

We know, and it is STILL irrelevant to my philosophical and logical response to religious claims. THAT is what the TRUTH is.

Also, most believe differently from YOU as respects Theist/Religious beliefs. YOU are even more of a minority than atheists.
That is ALSO what the TRUTH is.
Everybody's Belief is different...no two are exactly alike.
I accept and tolerate all Faith/Beliefs.
You do not "inquire about", or give "logical responses" to Religious Beliefs. You interrogate, insult, & mock...in a very disrespectful way.
I call that out.
You claim you don't even believe that God exists...let alone thinking and doing things.
But...rather than noting the metaphorical and allegorical nature of that Entity in the representative writings...you go off on insulting philippics discussing this supposedly nonexistent God Entity thinking and doing all kind of evil things.

There are two separate issues.

1. The metaphorical significance.
2. The validity of calling metaphors Reality.

ANOTHER cut and paste irrelevant and dishonest Pavlovian response from you.

Either of those issues: Address those ONLY...with respect.
The interrogations and insulting "Devils Advocate" arguments are employed only to vilify & mock.
If you are assessing & critiquing the thoughts and actions of a Entity that you claim does not exist...you are either completely illogical, or (most likely) ridiculing and mocking.

Those two options came from your mind.

In response to the protests from the bully for being called out. Again.

The most hated religious minority is bullying the vast majority. I think we got a little David and Goliath thing going on.

Oh no, I used logic and philosophy, what a bully I am.

Hint, Biblical morality, 9th commandment, because apparently in pantheism, being dishonest is in order.

Ignore = Run away, rather then show respect for those with differing beliefs and discuss in a decent manner.
It would appear "your job" is to get yourselves viewed to be on the level of rapists...and you do wonderfully to help maintain that status.
And this is what you do currently...not many hundreds or thousands of years ago, like the writing of The Bible or Inquisitions
It is true that my calling out your constant insolence probably does help you do that job.
It is deserved, in my opinion.
Morally decent people do not bully others constantly, for years.
Over 4 out of 5 are Theist....over half embrace a Abrahamic Religion, and find that it informs them morally. Get used to it, and learn to cope.
