While playing these games with you is quite amusing and you think you are being clever, you couldn't even continue to play them without acknowledging the God who makes it possible to string words together into a sentence that has meaningful content. If you were consistent with what you say you believe, you would quit posting altogether. It is quite amusing watching someone trying to be irrational, but you couldn't even know what it means to be irrational without rationally defining irrationality. Any reply you attempt to make will be an attempt to communicate meaningful content, which presupposes the rational use of language. "Where is the wise man? Where is the scribe? Where is the debater of this age? Has not God made foolish the wisdom of the world?"
