I wasn't arguing with the content of Jerry's post. Further, I do not intend to offend Jerry. Or anyone.
My gripe with his response was to draw attention to the fact that he stated that everyone is entitled to their beliefs, BUT really set out to convert somebody's belief structure by arguing with their personal view. Their post was not made as an invitation to debate it, but simply a statement of belief.
There are other threads devoted to debate of such details.
