It's upsetting to me because you have *repeatedly* lectured me, or talked *at* me instead of *to* me.
You openly admit you haven't read either The End of Faith or The God Delusion, and you base your opinions solely on one interview in The Sun, and the image I posted. I would LOVE to loan you The God Delusion. Truly. Richard Dawkins is an excellent author and wonderful at explaining things better than I ever could.
I have, in the past, proven myself perfectly capable of talking to religious people and people I disagree with, in a sane and compassionate manner. I have learned the hard way not to rise to the bait on discussions about veganism, for example. So believe it or not, I am capable of it.
But the way you have spoken to me, over and over, in this discussion, has infuriated me. It has been *extremely* difficult not to be outright rude to you.
I have told you--more than once--that I'm tired of talking about the subject, and you kept coming back and posting long lectures to me.
I have also told you, more than once, that how you and I or anyone else feels about the subject, does not change the objective idea of whether or not there is a god. You keep trying to mix those two things up. They're separate discussions.
