Reminds me of little so much as the statistics professor back at Michigan State who delighted in little more than harassing street evangelists outside Wells Hall while I was there, or the guy at Colorado who made a retirement career of writing letters to the editor against faith. I once nailed him by simply responding with the full context of a Greek philosopher he’d been quoting, since that context (Demosthenes commenting on the nature of Greek gods if I remember correctly) more or less led Demosthenes to the concept of a transcendent, almighty Creator. He actually admitted to me that that was a stroke of art on my part, or more properly on Demosthenes’ part. :^)
More or less, what they’re doing is pretending to be a Dempsey, Louis, or Tyson while sparring with the likes of me. whoop-di-do. Next thing you know they’ll be beating me at free throws or the high jump.
