"I don't worship myself" Bullshit. You do it via proxy (through "muH scienCE" ..but it's really just you whom you are desperate to get others to worship..as you have. Vanity is so gross. "I certainly don't worship you." You focus on me, instead of the discussion. Perhaps it's because you enjoy being dominated (which I have thusfar). Whatever the case, stop it. I don't swing that way. "ad hominem? Name-calling is not character assassination, that'splaying identity politics." Clearly you aren't able to comprehend what ad hominem is. Nor (apparently) do you know what identity politics are. Please, stop using terms that are beyond your ability. (which these 2 clearly are). "...it inevitable almost always devolves into someone calling me a nigger faggot jew." It's easy to see why. You're a miserable little nothing , whose spent all of his energy into a field that isn't substantial and full of other angry little nothings...so you beat off to the idea that you're important by getting involved into online arguments over faith and religion by trying to turn them into discussions in a field you either work in or just have a hard on for. This is the primary cause of why you're not liked. It's not that you're "so much smarter" its that you lack any human characteristics. You should just surround yourself in a world of tech, printed out studies, and a virtual world because....this human experience you're wasting is pitiful. " I have also made a valid argument to which you have failed to respond to" "valid argument" hahaha..no. You really haven't. You've wasted my time (and yours) trying to blow your ego via a keyboard. You're failing miserably, but I like to watch dogs chase their tails sometimes. The more I think about it, the more I'm just enabling you to do more of the same. A discussion has a goal of trying to enlighten or invoke new ideas...that's not what you're after. A debate has a goal of open discussion where opinions are viewed and discussed with an end goal in mind. This has dwindled down to neither of those 2. You've jerked yourself off to your opinion, calling to fact and pretending it matters to anyone but yourself. Not the same as your claim, not by a country mile. Its no longer interesting or amusing so I'll leave you to write your final tantrum ...where you'll know doubt repeat more of the same (and no doubt I'll simply not read ...nor will anyone else).
