Yes, you're taking it out of context.
shminux made a post which was basically, "don't bother arguing with me unless you've read and understood this book and these papers" and I pointed out that religious believers and other believers in anti-rationalist ideas use the very same tactics to try to shut down discussion of their ideas. I was not actually stating that one should study theology before talking about whether God exists. That was sarcasm.
Oh right. Well, I think the problem was due to a misunderstanding , so its all good. And hey! I got some reading recommendations out of it, which is never a bad thing.
