I just find it highly ironic that you would feign offense at being called an atheist, yet the ONLY passage in your profile is from Russell - a man who debated theists on numerous occasions!

Well, *gasp*! Time to burn him at the stake then!

Come *on* man... If I quote Newton, does that automatically make me a theist? If I quote Voltaire, does that automatically make me an atheist? If I quote both, does your head explode?

Lugsoul is correct in pointing out that your "AHA, GOTCHA!" over such a minor point as his including a quote from Russell *which had nothing to do with religion* strongly underscores your unfortunate tendency to see most things as "evidence" that the world as divided into two black-and-white "camps" at war with each other over religion.

I am reminded of the old saying, "when all you have is a hammer, you tend to see every problem as a nail."

Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar.

He feigned offense in my assuming him to be an atheist, yet he had a B. Russell quote in his profile. Why would an admirer of Russell be offended by the label of atheism? He feigned offense because that was the only weapon he could find against me. He is intellectually dishonest and he is exposed.
