Religious "Friends"

[TheFlyingBastard]

If a person is smart, most skeptics are, then they are Satan? Sweet.
That quote implies that their faith requires them to remain closeminded. Not in all things; but in the topic of their religion/faith/belief.

I was reminded of something Daniel Dennett wrote:

Err... wasn't your post directly addressing the person you were having the email exchange with, even if you didn't use his name? And the end result was that this person never spoke to you again? I think that's the opposite of what the OP wanted...

True enough. I did send it to the person I was corresponding with and it did turn him off. If you glean from my response the caliber of questions/accusations I was responding to, it should come as no surprise that I was not particularly interested in keeping up the discussion. When I posted it as a note on Facebook, however, it had the effect of spawning interesting discussion of the type the OP may have desired. That was what I intended it to be an example of, however awkwardly I worded the introduction to it.

Personally, I would recommend you find more intelligent people to correspond with. If somebody blocked you for your previous comments, then i dare say, they are not a friend.
