If I did, prove it with a quotation. If I didn't, then either you misunderstood or you lied.

this conversation is being read by all the people who read here...I am only nominally talking to you

Then why do you care what I personally believe?

If you and I were in a room by ourselves I might say "good morning" to you...but not much else.

Then why do you say “I want to talk to you and not to your sources”? It isn't a private, one-on-one competition.

I found this example: the law in one county said that the size of a retail store should not exceed a certain limit. Wal-Mart wanted to build two separate stores next to each other. The law did not explicitly say anything against that. That's a loophole. Likewise, if the law defines marriage as a union between two citizens, one might consider it legal for two men to marry because the law does not explicitly say “a man and woman”, it merely says “two citizens”.

Don't go running again

You are still young. You can run as well. It's good for your cholesterol.

define what you mean by "religion"

Any definition that encompasses all religions. I assume all religions have at least the following in common:

1. A claim for the existence of a deity.
2. A set of ethical laws (for example, the ten commandments).

I'm assuming this is actually something you believe and not another sideshow.

Why do you care? You are not “nominally talking” to me.

I say religion is never worth it because it stunts Reason and Logic, primarily....then it damages compassion, kindness, generosity and on and on.

My initial argument was that religion compels people to behave morally. Atheism entails moral relativism. And you said?
