Myself as an atheist playing devil's advocate as a pantheist without actually being a pantheist. I made a thread to try and argue that if what is meant by the word "God" is simply the universe then since the universe exists and it is believed in then technically that makes us pantheists even if we don't identify as pantheists but only if and only if "God" is simply the universe which of course it isn't.
All my "ifs" got very confusing, pedantic and frustrating and I am sure it left you wondering what the fuck my point was and why I was arguing for it even though I did say I was playing devil's advocate... because of course surely I would have a point or a motive? Did I have a point and a motive? No I didn't really have a point at all, lol. I of course had a motive in the sense that all conscious actions have motives but I only had a motive insofar as I wanted to see if I could construct a valid argument based on unsound premises simply because I had only recently developed my logical argumentation skills, lol.
My pedantry and lack of a point must have made it seem like I perhaps just perhaps actually believed that shit, and I really did not but I am not at all surprised that it seemed that way. I was a frustrating pedantic buttface, lol.
I'd find the thread if I could, would be entertaining for both of us looking back now I think... despite how it may have frustrated you at the time.
I say we had one or two disagreements (not literally one or two, it may have even been "some", lol) simply because I consider the probability low that we only ever had one over the years... I think it's more likely that I can only remember one. But I do indeed only remember that one disagreement between us. And although I cannot recall any of our agreements in the past I know we agreed on a lot of things, they're not just as memorable because, of course, novel things are more memorable... and our disagreement is memorable to me because it was a novelty because we usually agreed.
