		<description>Then, you need to drop the sarcasm and address the full, entire post and argument made, not blockquote every single snippet you can make a negative comment against.  Debating involves making your argument, providing opinion and objective evidence, and answering rebuttals of your opponent&#039;s opinion and objective evidence by proving them wrong or reassessing your position to strengthen it or accept its fallibility.  It also requires mutual respect.  I&#039;ve yet to witness you in any way, shape, or form offer mutual respect or honest debate because time and time again you treat everyone here that has a different view with contempt, disdain, distrust, and immediate dismissal.  Then you get defensive when we call you out on it.

Just admit it.  You hate non-christians.</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;What guarantee can you give me that it’s worth my time providing you…&lt;/blockquote&gt;None.  That’s not how it works here, Junior.  I’m under no obligation to guarantee you anything.  However, what seems to work best is when one party asks honest, respectful questions of another (as I did above) and the other responds in kind.  If you really want to keep a mature and enlightened conversation going with me, I suggest you try it and lose the whining, laced-with-your-own-backhanded-barbs, hurt puppy act.</description>

		<description>I don&#039;t know what they are made of now, but our Ouija board was made of a masonite-like material and my brother broke his big toe with it when he lifted it out of the closet.  It was stored on its end and it slipped out and landed edge-on onto his toe.  Must have been angry spirits.  It amazes me how people can imagine magic powers somehow instilled in cardboard/masonite and plastic.  There must be an &quot;inject magic&quot; step in the manufacturing process.</description>

		<description>Why bother?  Anything we say, proof or no, rational or no, reasoned or no, offensive or no, you immediately throw back at us and claim we&#039;re being arrogant, selfish, uncaring, clinging to an agenda, or being disrespectful, but above all are are, according to you, wrong just because we&#039;re atheists/leftists/liberals/non-Christian conservatives.

What guarantee can you give me that it&#039;s worth my time providing you everything necessary to support my opinion without you nitpicking it apart like an obsessive compulsive while failing to make a distinct and succinct counter argument beyond automatically gain saying what I say after lacing a non-rebuttal of everything you don&#039;t like about my ideas and claims in your self-prided sarcasm?  If you can promise me a debate and not 50 blockquotes of everything you don&#039;t like about what I say while ignoring every valid point and not providing a counter argument, I&#039;ll consider humoring you.</description>
