Wrong. Now, play the game and stop with the red herring.

When you become a professor of philosophy or religion I may take you seriously.

How I see professors: Now, how about playing the game without all the red herrings?

I'm at a loss for words, I think I'll go pound my head on the desk for a while it may feel better.

I didn't think you would play the game.

Well, I would, but you have me at a disadvantage. You can define god in such a manner that the great flying pasta in the sky becomes a stupid analogy. The FSM is not meant for your flavor of god (I actually like what I think is your version) but the superman flavor of god.
Or making ridiculing the 'prove me wrong' style of arguing.

Edit: your view of professors is fairly accurate.

So many Christians are so quick to demand respect, so slow to give it.

I understand what you're saying and I appreciate that. You touched upon a point I made in another thread and you are right, it puts you at a distinct disadvantage: it is for the believer to define what he believes, not the critic. But let's face it, not many theists think much about the God they believe in. Point of fact, the superman flavor of God is probably more bothersome to me than you, but it is not useful and does not win any converts when atheists adopt a policy of ridicule--especially one that is so easily dismissed as the FSM.
