Suggesting that someone is being ridiculous or being pedantic is not actually namecalling, nor is it an insult to his religion. I was referring to his line of argument as my last post to him elaborated. His religious beliefs on the matter of afterlife were irrelevant to the discussion.

I have belief in life after death myself. I have belief that we may be "reconcilled in heaven". That is totally beside the point I was making about death however.

Why make that sort of comment anyway? It simply seems like it's inciteful of you. Oh... is "inciteful" namecalling now? Like "ridiculous" and "pedantic" I'm referring to the specific post, not the character of the person... but does that mean anything anymore?
