The real problem was entering into a discussion about religion, we all know that we shouldn't but we dragged in, you should have left them alone, let them think what they want, I do the same thing with people who believe they have been abducted by aliens or think they know King Arthur. When there is real proof of any religion to exist then I will give it serious thought, until then it remains just another good story book, just like The Lord of the Rings..................hey is that a parallel. Don't throw your teddy out of the pram, take a rest, enjoy Oxonmoot, and then enter into some other discussion (preferably not on religious mythology).
Any discussion on that subject will never be won by either side, and the thread that was closed is now inconclusive, a stalemate.

P.S I was one of those who enjoyed your sarcasm, because I understood it was not malicious or hateful, it came from a different sense of humour that is lost on most.
