Well, I guess that settles it then. I don't know how to counter the sound logic and airtight reasoning of the appeal to ad hominem. By insulting anyone who disagrees with you, you've surely proven your point far better than you could by citing actual evidence.

the appeal to ad hominem

That is the whole point of while you are here to begin with, isn't it? You are here to bash the religionists.

It only frustrates you that it doesn't work with an atheist. Of course, since I am an equal opportunity secularist: I take shots at atheists too, because some of you are no better, and most often times worse, than the godists.

Ad hominem - - latin - - to the man....

By insulting anyone who disagrees with you...

argumentum misericordian - - latin - - appeal to sympathy
