"We are not talking about my beliefs"

Yes, we are. You have been trying to defend your silly superstitions since day one by attacking freethinkers such as myself. Denial, Denial, Denial--your 3 middle names!

"A five year old could mount a better defense than that"

Maybe learn to read as well as a 5 year old, then. The observation that you are angry was not a defense. It was an observation grounded in facts.

"one of the main tenets of atheism is a rejection of all things supernatural."

Actually, you are completely wrong, but you generally are completely wrong! Atheism is simply about not believing in a god. It is not about scoffing at mysteries or unknown science or reality. I have never met an atheist who would scoff at the unknown but in any event his/her scoffing would not depend in any way from atheism, per se.

"How odd that you would be engaging in occult, pagan, supernatural practices such as getting your Tarot cards read"

Why would you find it odd when you know the post you are referring to said clearly that it was done as a lark or in fun. I forget the exact words but feel free to link the post and tell us why you found having tarot cards read in fun to be "odd"?!! Or did you "miss" the part about it being in fun, greg or ee?? Wink, wink!

"It is obvious that you are really just an anti-Christian"

I have a thread called "Should God Be Replaced". Are you just discovering now that I believe that the survival of humanity (and certainly, any prospect of living in peaceful co-existence) is correlated with how quickly and how well we are able to shed the barbarian dress of superstition and embrace our heritage of walking erect, good thumbs, and large brains? The fact that I believe you to be an immoral scoundrel bereft of normal human values is beside the point and does not make me an "anti-christian"--whatever the Hell that is supposed to mean in your convoluted and fu--ed up head!

"There is a proper way to communicate "privately" It's called a "Private Message""

My observation was that I had an "interchange that really involved two people having a private conversation on a public thread for a brief moment." I said that because it WAS on a public thread and it DID only involve TWO people. If it had involved personal details such as names or addresses I could have used a private message but the privacy here does not refer to that level of privacy (as any 5 year old would know). It refers to the simple fact that it was a discussion or dialogue between two people that had elements of a private sharing going back several posts and without the interest of others. You believed in your opportunistic way that it was an occasion to butt in and score cheap points. And I did not say that the nature of our conversation prevented you from butting in with a hostile attack. It is a public thread. I was only pointing out that you are a scum-bag. So here you are, and still nothing on your end of the score card other than an embarrassing ZERO! Sucks to be you!

"Finally, if any .... person .... honestly wishes to know how my wife came to know that someone I knew had cancer--I have no problem telling them publicly."

Let me help you with that quote you felt compelled to mangle! LOL!! Here is what I said and what you accidentally tangled:

"Finally, if any decent and respectful person such as the person I was speaking to (or even a sincere and decent outsider to that interchange, such as Jacques) honestly wishes to know how my wife came to know that someone I knew had cancer--I have no problem telling them publicly. All they need do is publicly ask me. Obviously, I won’t use any names, so one is puzzled why any one not in my immediate family would ask--but there you are!"

<<"Did you miss those posts where I stated that my wife and I DO NOT communicate with dead spirits or with supernatural beings?">>

"Sure"

For having missed them you seem to be awfully certain I am telling the truth. You are not asking me for proof of my statement. Are you sure you missed those posts, greg or ee??? Are you sure you are not being a liar once again??

Now please stick your head back up your ass where it gives you some bizarre form of dignity. Thanks.
