This counts as flame baiting. There are perfectly reasonable ways you could argue against religion (monotheistic or polytheistic) without trying to offend people here

Monotheism does not exist.

Monotheism exists as a sub-form of Atheism. For example, Christians believe in just one more god than Atheists, while disbelieving in the existance of all other gods.

Fnord, that is stupid and passe. Any atheist who goes for belief in one god or two gods or any number of Gods not equal to zero ain't no atheist. I spit me of such an "atheist".

Lefebvre and Vigilans. I for one see no problem with someone saying - even here - monotheism is crap. Or theism is crap, or atheism is crap, or crap is stuff and nonsense, or belief in the clap is crap, or comparative lingustics is a waste of time. I see no reason to object to the exxpression of an opinion on an opinion.

If you say [for example] "Anyone who believes hominy is fit to eat is a stinking Fascist product of Sjilluk and Ainu miscegenation" - THAT sort of thing is going too far, and anyone who says differently ke ngwana oa ledimo. So there.

The mod seems to be on my side on this one Philly. Asides the fact that it is flame baiting, it is not a respectable way to debate this topic. I'm an Atheist for Thor's sake, and even I find it distasteful

It certainly does not even come close to attacking anyone, and it seems to me to simply be an opinion expressed ...

... yet maybe it should be in the haven or somewhere else if you might be expecting anyone to sympathize! :roll:

Of course the OP is flame bating. About 1/3 - 1/2 of all the threads started in this cesspool of a forum are flame bating one way or the other.
