1. You seem to have abandoned your previous thread.

Could you please return and support the central claim you made in it?

Namely: "I have read posts here talking about the end of theism."

Could you link to those posts? Thanks so much!

5. Sorry you won't defend your claims.

People should know that before they engage in a discussion with you. You'll make false accusations, and run away from them.

7. Please defend your claims.

You demand it from others, why don't you do it?

People have a right to know that you don't argue honestly.
