I was reading Arguelles book on the subject, but my wife made me stop because I was concurrently reading it with a girl I had a crush on in high school and she was worried we would develop "emotional intimacy".

Well I'm offended by religious stuff that are either meant to be offensive or extremely repetitive, dare I say "give me one logical reason that God exists, oh, ok, give me another one!" thread. You don't do either of those, so you're ok! As for him closing down the thread, yeah it's annoying, but why let him close you down as an author? Besides, against people like that there's a great saying "if you ignore it long enough, it will go away". Now fulfill my request Babylonian, don't make me get the Bow of Sargon of Akkad!
