I understand that you have good reasons to feel strongly about this topic, and probably also to feel frustrated with HN users who aren't as acquainted with it as you are. But I still need to ask you to stop posting flamewar comments to HN (and especially religious flamewar—that's one of the worst sorts).
I'm sure it isn't your intent to do that, but we have to go by effects, not intent, and that is the effect that posts like this tend to have (and are having, in the current case). You've posted more than 30 comments in this thread, in the "ideological battle" style that the HN guidelines ask you to avoid here*. It's far from the curious, respectful conversation that this site is supposed to be for.
Also, it's important to edit out swipes like "I can see you are determined to dimiss [etc.]", "Your beliefs have nothing to do with facts [etc.]", and so on. Your posts have included a great many of those, and that's definitely against the site guidelines.

If you wouldn't mind reviewing https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html and taking the intended spirit of the site more to heart, we'd be grateful.
(* not that a religion is exactly an ideology but that guideline applies to both)
