   no doubt you'll persist in your delusions such as these

   maybe I shouldn't judge atheists by dishonest ones like you then. but   
   then I haven't encountered any honest ones yet who will debate with   
   integrity and without hostility or personal attacks.   
      
   now for the umpteenth time.. I have NOT posted ANY discussion threads to   
   alt.atheism. I have participated in existing threads, and answered   
   replies to me.   
      
   your claim of trolling is nothing but an invention of your warped   
   imagination.
