Believing in your magical sky daddy (for whom there is this much evidence, by the way: zero) really does appear to have frazzled your delicate little logic circuits. See here:

Christians believe God speaks in a “still, small voice” through the Holy Spirit.

This is a direct claim and there are many self-labelled christians who would be a bit bamboozled at the specificity of the "still, small voice". This: a very literal "no true scotsman" as you've made a claim about "Christians" which does not pertain to all who identify as such, by any stretch. I'm going to need that sentence again so let's refer to it as $SuperWellSpicySentence from here on in.

This “speaking” is more like a peace felt through meditation and prayer.

Another direct claim about an experiential and metaphysical thing which is just, I mean, come on my guy. Every single christian experiences this in this way? Insert $SuperWellSpicySentence here.

Do you see?

My sky daddy?

I’m good without carrying on a conversation if you are. I don’t and didn’t treat you with disrespect because of your beliefs or ideas. I explained a thought process from a different point of view to bring clarity and awareness.

You are disparaging my belief-system and belittling me. If you can’t have a conversation without resorting to that foolishness, it’s best that we don’t converse at all.

Your “True Scotsman” bit was misplaced. You don’t have to be aggressive because I pointed that out

belittling me

You're the one who chose to believe in fairytales. A wee bit of belittling comes with the territory. I thought you were all supposed to rise above it, but I guess I must be thinking of traits of a different type of true christian. Blorp!

Charming behavior on here. Now it’s my problem you’re aggressive and pushy. Me speaking up was to bring insight to the subject matter. I wasn’t speaking up in order to have conversations with people who choose to willfully disrespect me.

You get to choose how you act in response to people with a system of beliefs you don’t agree with. It’s not my fault you’re so intolerant that you can’t help yourself.

I’m done conversing with you.

a system of beliefs you don’t agree with

"a system of beliefs that's 100% wrong and 100% net-harmful to society"
