This is the paragraph that actually prompted me to reply. I
find your technique masterful -- first call people names, and come
back repeatedly to harangue them for daring to descend to the nadirs
you plumb.

Well, how would _you_ respond to the selfsame question?

This discussion is dead. It is merely a pathetic circus
sideshow; and at this point, on this topic, I do not think you
deserve an response anymore. Take that how you will.

Ah, yes. Quite so. I am in deep, abject, panic. Picture mo
cowering under the sofa.
I tire.
This discussion is ended.

The truth is that Christian theology, like every other theology, is
not only opposed to the scientific spirit; it is also opposed to all
other attempts at rational thinking. Not by accident does Genesis 3
make the father of knowledge a serpent -- slimy, sneaking and
abominable. Since the earliest days the church as an organization
has thrown itself violently against every effort to liberate the body
and mind of man. It has been, at all times and everywhere, the
habitual and incorrigible defender of bad governments, bad laws, bad
social theories, bad institutions. It was, for centuries, an
apologist for slavery, as it was the apologist for the divine right
of kings. Mencken
