Marsha,

I have no "stake" other than a conviction based on experience that theism is not 
something to be discarded without serious and considered intellectual 
contemplation of the detriment to society in doing so. I have made my position 
and my point quite clearly at this point, as evidenced by the ongoing 
conversations with those with whom I've been discussing it. 

You can choose to constructively engage it, flatly ignore it or continue to 
actively (and in your case personally) malign it. Some here have chosen the 
first and the discussion, I think, has been fruitful for all involved, and I dare say 
to some of those only reading it. Some others have chosen the second and its 
frankly hard to tell what has come of that. 

Yet you for whatever reason have chosen the latter and the results I must say 
seem to me to be distinctly low quality.

I find that regrettable.
