Good job. I get so frustrated with religious extremists I have to stay away from them otherwise I may want to "smack them upside the head". Not that I would, but it does cross my mind from time to time. Wow, you must be a saint. *snicker, snicker* You have incredible patience. Good job.

His first arguments were so appallingly circular / illogical that I expected the abuse and general attitude he continued with. However, I suspected I could get some nice quotes out of him to use in an article, so I continued. I am still having the conversation with him, so there might be a follow-up article containing more of his delusions. So far he keeps complaining that everything I say is only "theory" and therefore isn't science. Of course when I explain the difference between scientific theory and scientific fact he just resorts to abuse again. I would discontinue the conversation but honestly I find the entire thing quite amusing. I've just ended university for the summer and these emails provide me with something to do :P PhillyChief,

In some sort of public forum I will, because the people that can be reached are the lurkers, and they may not be as far gone. It's amazing how someone would think that after calling your argument and it's justifications "nonsense", "bullshit", and not worth addressing that he could just move on cheerily and you'd also happily continue chatting. Wow. I don't know a great deal about islam but it sounds like they're even further gone than christians. Christians have that perversion of the Golden Rule, do onto others what you would want done to you. It's a perversion because it dismisses empathy since you're not taking into account what others would want done to them, but arrogantly assuming what you want is what they want. Now even with this flawed version, they would have to see calling your views "bullshit" would be wrong since they wouldn't want someone saying that to them. One can only imagine what the islamic variant must be. It’s next to impossible to break through that nonsense, so one on one conversations like that I never get involved in.
