US and Israel seek to expel Palestinians from Palestine...

For goodness sake, why didn't you just make your point at the beginning and save all three of us from your merry go round. If you stopped playing silly games of feigning ignorance instead of just coming out with what you really want to say, all this would have been avoided.

I did right at the start, but it seemed to go over your heads. So then I tried to lay the groundwork by getting you both up to speed so that we could have a proper discussion. I don't think I was feigning ignorance at any point. I was simply finding out what you knew and where you were coming from with a view to taking the main discussion forward.

I've had it before but I did receive an apology.

That was very different, though. I had made some slightly off colour jokes as a way of illustrating a point, but I realised they had actually upset you. And I was man enough to apologise.

OK. I came to understand the relation between Jesus, a jew, Judaism and Christianity through my own self seeking of knowledge. I was never taught it at school or in church as a child. I think myself and HighwayMan don't have an issue with the connection or expression but you do have an issue with it. So really, perhaps you better say what your issue is. Is it because Trump used the term? Because you are frightened of this term? What is the root of your fear?

They weren't jokes. You were rude and name called. But yes you were man enough to realise your error and apologised.

I have no fear. You are being silly again :)

That is an interesting turn of phrase. In the past, I have always heard the UK described as a "Christian" country.

But I do have a keen interest in language and how it develops. To me it is still a very unusual phrase in our country. And originally I was simply asking why you used it. But then I moved on to the bigger issue of why some right wingers have recently starting calling Britain a "Judeo Christian" country. And I have found out that it is really an anti Muslim expression. Whether you realised or not!

OK that is you point. Judeo Christian is anti Muslim. Yeah, you're a radical as I had always thought. Is it islamophobic too?

I have only been looking into it for the first time today. I have yet to take a view. I was hoping a good discussion might help.

I doubt it.

Why do you think so little of me? With that one exception, which I have explained several times was a type of parody gone wrong, I have never been anything but polite and friendly to you :)

I have only come across this issue properly today. I thought a proper discussion would help clarify it for me.

I don't want any further discussion with you now you have made it clear where you stand. We are on opposite sides of the tracks. You are pro fgm, subjugation and brutalisation of women and girls, honour based killing and the ill treatment of homosexuals. I am not. Cheerio.

As I say, every time you do this, that is your prerogative and I respect that.
