If Skul had continued with his anti-religious rhetoric, he would be in a perhaps worse position than you, but the difference is he stopped after a warning. You could argue that I was a tad too lenient with him, and that I should've kicked instantaneously when he compared religion to mental illness, but such details are rather minor in the grand scheme.

Although perhaps thirty days was rather unreasonable, I think you underestimate the true depth of your comments. You did not merely call him stupid or swear at him a few times then get banned for a month, you said things far more repulsive that have potential to cut far deeper. To say that you would rather a user be dead is a completely different level of insult than saying, for example, "you're a stupid atheist." After a warning, I did call him a mentally-dead idiot again. While I certainly do not find those words justifiable in any context, I do not find that correlating to two weeks, especially since you banned me for that infraction in the first place and not for my prior "swearing" (seriously, I used a yellowx once ). I had received a kick/warn for that.

Skul iterated his point about being able to watch loved ones die, and I attempted to explain to him my views about it (since his were distorted to gross extremes, like my being unflinchingly comfortable with the deaths of my family).

For explaining myself, I was told I was on thin ice and to drop the subject. I then asked why I was on thin ice and not the "mentally-dead idiot" who attacked me in the first place. After that, I did acknowledge it was time to drop the argument (perhaps too late, but I did acknowledge it).

That is why I was banned for thirty days.
