One really does have to wonder how its possible for a person to have a modus operandi explained & then fall into the self same trap. I have refuted your charge of childishness with an explanation of debate tactics (the MO above). The fact that I do have greater facility with english than you is not my fault. That you cannot frame your arguments in such a way as to avoid points being made against them with added humour ought to to tell you something about yourself, in relation to that post of mine to which you originally replied.

i'm glad my post gave you something to think about. IN the UK most schools will teach Religion up until the age of 16, most primary schools are Church of England or another religious domination. To get into a Church of England Primary school it is recommended you go to your local church. Just as was recommended to my mother before she sent me and my brother to primary school.
At this young age you are told about Christianity and the Bible as though it really happened.
It wasn't till I was 18 and better at questioning things that I began to question Christianity. So in a way it is forced upon us in society like it or not.
How can I spit in the face of a god in whom i do not believe.
Actually, there isn't any argument at all. I stated my only real position ages ago & then began to mock those who couldn't respond to it. Watcher took exception to this &, without making any counter-point, preceded to call my abilities into question. I have since responded, been ignored & so decided to utilise the same tactic of calling his/her abilities into question.

This would be more of that slyness I predicted. Lets just recap shall we?
If superficialy "perfect" is what you prefer, that's fine. I prefer content *the underlying thoughts attempting to be conveyed* over winow dressing *perfect syntax and grammer*. And, incidentally, "It just isn't because I think I'm genius with impeccable grammer and syntax skills and I say say so." is not an acceptable refutation of a claim.
a retired businessman paid $50,000 to rent 10 billboards that condemned the separation of church and state.
In retaliation, the United Coalition of Reason has spent $100,000 to erect signs that read, “Are you good without God? Millions are.

Question for the church+state=goodness......do you *really* want the federal government running religion?
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

as far as pro-life politicians go you can be pro-life without being religious.
