You just won't let it go, will you? If you are that anxious to get in a fight you could Google around for a boxer to invite over.

Irvin D. Yalom “Truth," Nietzsche continued, "is arrived at through disbelief and skepticism, not through a childlike wishing something were so! Your patient's wish to be in God's hands is not truth. It is simply a child's wish—and nothing more! It is a wish not to die, a wish for the eveastingly bloated nipple we have labeled 'God'! Evolutionary theory scientifically demonstrates God's redundancy—though Darwin himself had not the courage to follow his evidence to its true conclusion. Surely, you must realize that we created God, and that all of us together now have killed him.” ― Irvin D. Yalom, When Nietzsche Wept

is to say, "I'm sorry. That isn't what I meant to say. I didn't mean to hurt
your feelings". At least, that's what one says if one wants to maintain
positive relationships with people. The wrong thing to say is something
like, "You're always twisting my words and making it sound like I'm
insulting you when I'm not. I'm just trying to have a rational conversation
and you're spoiling it by being illogical and overly sensitive. You're just
like that other guy who was irrational and always used to misinterpret what
I said."
