Given the history of the poster, I think he’s just confused. I’m not sure whether this OP is just clueless, witnessing, or trolling. Whatever the case, it doesn’t belong in the Pit, so I’m closing it.

I would suggest that you figure out the norms of posting on this site pretty quickly. As I said, I’m not really sure that you’re not trolling with this. The fact that you posted this in the Pit rather than in Great Debates suggests to me that you posted it in expectation of a negative reaction. If you expect to continue posting here, you really need to get a clue.
