I have rarely seen dishonesty from any atheist in this newsgroup, yet I have
witnessed a constant stream of lying, deceptive and downright unpleasant
theists, of which you happen to be the latest.

So you think a two year old is capable of distinguishing the difference
between theism and atheism?

A two year old is learning to lie or tell the truth. If a two year
