Just harmless debate with good sportsmanship out in the open, where threats do not work. He wants religion to continue to be an open topic on his forum, but cannot tolerate it when I mention anything about his own religious discussions over there. So I can see that it's not welcome, and just am moving on. It seems like he wants to be left alone with his own convictions about his own simulation theory while being quite dogmatic about it and directly criticizing religions at the same time (did you ever see Anand or Toms or even the loud-mouthed Kyle criticizing other people's religions on their own forums)? Already experienced this many times before, and it's an even stronger case now. He can run things all he wants in his own territory while refusing to come out of there for so many reasons that he obviously feels guilty of. Best thing for me is to just move on... rather than staying at BTR compared to what the vast universe has to offer. And I can still read his reviews, etc.. it's not like as if his review pages are no longer getting hits from me, so don't worry.
That's fair. I can tell you calmed down now and had some time to think about it.
I also am a Christian and I completely disagree with his views. I completely understand that he has had enough of people preaching the gospel at him. Just try to imagine being raised as a JW when you had no interest in it at all. He also lost his mom because of her views - she refused to have a blood transfusion.
I think it would be great if you would come back over there to discuss hardware. It's your decision. I understand how you're feeling about this.
