You also say, “... if you are worried that you might be in danger in meeting me alone then you are wrong. I have always asked for a public debate and bring as many people with you as you would feel safe with...”.
Again, how many time do I have to say this? There's just me. I don't run around proclaiming to be an atheist and asking people to join me. There's no Birdie 'gang' despite whatever delusions you have conjured up in your own mind.
Also, in light of recent events in Pakistan, how many people do you think would come with me if I said to them, “Some Islamic bloke I've never met but with whom I have had several major arguments with over the internet in the last few years, wants to meet me and have a chat. Care to join me?”? I would bet that not many would take up that offer. And do you know why? Because the Islamic religion is, rightly or wrongly, synonymous with violence and intolerance. Your religion has a massive PR problem and you're not helping matters one little bit.
I fear that our relationship must remain forever distant.
