...we already said you're free to call what names you will...so long as you do so in the process of commenting on the topics at hand...this entire post of your's is just "shitheads" with your usual non-ideas....you merely SAY we're shitheads for exposing your religion...you have nothing to say, besides more shitheads, about what we SHOW you about your religion...you just resent being shown.

..for instance; I say your religion has killed more Christians than any other religion. The rational response would be to show where we're wrong. You could, for instance, cite statistics which show that Muslims or Jews or Hottentots have killed far more Christians than Christians have...or you could challenge the facts, or ask for further facts...or a clarification. But you don't do any of that because you know as well as I do that it's true. So, what do you do instead? You start with shitheads, move to virgins, come back to shitheads after stopping at flies and monkeys....then you say only an idiot like me could say such a thing about Christianity...and you're welcome to say all that, because you're entitled to your OPINION....but I gave you FACTS, not opinions about Christianity...there's a big difference between opinion and fact...and all you have are your opinions which, as I said all along, you're entitled to....but we want to help you do better.

...we want your mind to start dealing in facts, and not just when you think you've found something in the Quran. That's fair of course...but we want you to begin to think critically of everything, not just the other side...but take a look inside...take a look at your own beliefs and position....in other words to grow up and stop seeing the world in terms of team sports or who's on "my side" and who is "against me".

...in the normal course of a good upbringing you would have been encouraged and shown how to form critical skills....but we can't allow that lack to go unaddressed...we have to show compassion and do what we can. At the least we can try to cut down on your reliance on empty and personal opinions which have no real bearing on anything at issue.

...Like I said; cuss and swear and toilet-talk all you want to. That isn't the complaint. The complaint is the lack of SUBSTANCE....or, if you prefer, the presence of anything other than your opinions. Nothing wrong with opinions...but when they come from such an uncritical and poorly educated mind, from a Christian who doesn't even know his own religion but takes it on himself to pick apart the religion of others...well, we have to step in, for your own sake if for no other reason.

...but don't despair...it isn't like you can't start your own forum, or go on writing at all the others, who will gladly welcome a mind such as your's. You're hardly being silenced...just encouraged to try harder, to expand and to REALLY let us have it by providing FACTS to back your opinions.

...you will more than likely respond to this very post with more of the same...that is; you'll call me a shithead for saying what I just did...which is fine. But you could also try to show what's wrong with what I just said...for instance show how what I'm proposing is censorship etc. That would be valid criticism from which we could go on to discuss what constitutes censorship and freedom etc. We still won't deprive you of your need to toilet-talk...that's your right. But it's also your right to address the issues...and if you don't know enough to value your rights...we stand ready to help you.

...No thanks are necessary.
