SATYANSH: this is just a rebuttal to a vast majority of extremist atheists who use quite a vast number of personal based attacks in subtle ways when they argue with theists or agnostics. this was intended to be a joke and it is a joke. i hope i have cleared my position now.-Sorry I haven't got back to you sooner. Yes, all clear. It's precisely the "personal based attacks" I would like us to avoid, and when you talked of taking the piss out of atheists, alarm bells rang.-I've just seen your "time out" post under "The Gods - All of them!" Don't worry about Matt and me. We often have little ding-dongs, but we have plenty of fun, and we're generally on the same side. At least, I hope that's how Matt feels!
