"When you said there was plenty of evidence for religion, you meant in support of it. It would be absurd to ask for evidence that religion exists and you make yourself absurd pretending that."

Well, as you know, Keith, "Humility" is my middle name. Notwithstanding, I boldly claim to be able to express myself in terms that should leave you in no doubt as to what I actually mean, taking into account nuance and the use of literary devices such as sarcasm, parody and metaphor. So, Keith, do not think of trying to tell ME what I mean. I will always be kind enough to tell YOU what I mean. I think I generally manage that feat quite well. This is the second time this week I've caught you trying to impose a narrowly literal meaning on things I've said. I know two otherwise very nice people who do that routinely, and they both need a fair bit of looking after.
