Spend 3 days straight getting waterboarded, _then_ make this claim again. Torture is no laughing matter, and you want to subject him to an _eternity_ of it? You sadistic, evil bitch! Do you have _any idea_ how cruel that makes you sound? Most people crack after a few hours, but you want him to suffer _eternally_… Do you even understand what you’re _saying_?

We used to not know how that happened, so we made up a fairy tale about it and everyone believed it. Then someone _found the answer_. Your argument, the “god of the gaps” argument, is so ridiculously flawed, it’s not even funny. There’s only one argument I know that’s more fallacious, and it has to do with Hitler’s religious beliefs.

If there is a hell you’ve got a seat reserved there too:D  
You don’t seriously fucking believe that I mean I want him or you to suffer eternal damnation. You take things waaaaaaaaaaayyyyyyyyyyy too literally. Go take your meds now.  
Some people can’t take a fucking joke.  
Wow. You’re dumb.  
if you think I’m actually going to post in your retarted dumbass thread then you’re even crazier than I thought.
