"blown out of the water".
Your arguments (what there were of them) have been blown out of the water by the fact that society has moved on and you and those who share your views are now a thing of the past - all we can hope for that the persecution that your views have inflicted on a sizeable portion of the world population will end and, as has its companion bigotry, racism. eventually be made illegal.
Nobody expects you to change your mind - these arguments seldom do that, but they are put up for general scrutiny.
People have put reasonable and articulate arguments on all these subjects - the fact that you and others refuse to acknowledge them as having been made is your problem, nobody else's - they are there for others to see.
You - as with Keith, refuse toi accept arguments - fair enough, your prerogative - but when you fail to make your case, you then go on to claim that no arguments have been been put forward and are just "blind ideology" - it is this which destroys reasonable debates and turns them into dog-fights.
If you addressed the facts rather than debasing them with statements such as the one you have just made, we might get somewhere - at least we wouldn't have to put up with the foul atmosphere your insulting dismissal creates.
As with Keith, my thanks for making my point so succinctly - far better than I could.
