Guys, time-out, I think this conversation isn't going anywhere. Let's just stop, please. I lost my chill there, for a moment, with Thumpa, and I don't want that to happen again. I'm sorry for my part in this.

As for the rest of your tripe, I thought about typing some stuff out, but pearls, swine, etc etc. It's not like you'd understand anything that doesn't comport with your self-image. RE: Agnostics

I'm not going to hold my breath. This is Penguin 1.0 redux, nothing to see, move along.  RE: Agnostics

This is too cute

Forgive my skepticism, but apologies are best shown in behavior and not those two words in particular. "I'm sorry" is easy to say, and hard to do ... this is something I know myself.

I could be such a pedant right now but I'll resist

Everyone makes mistakes, EP.
Maybe I'm too forgiving. But when I was 20 I was barely better than EP. He's much improved in my book lately.

It's that for me, personally, the soft definition is too trivial to bother with. This is probably because I'm Canadian, and in my family and hometown, there really wasn't much in-your-face theism for me to both disassociating from them. So when I use the term "atheism," it's in the sense that someone believes that there isn't a God. It took me a while to accept soft atheism as a thing, and I argued against it for a while a few years ago. But now, I've come to understand people here, their position, and why they find that definition meaningful. It's cool with me-- just not the way I use the word in reference to my own ideas. Quote:I'm sorry if I appeared condescending. I'll really make an effort now to have a conversation, no matter what it takes. Just fair warning for anyone else reading this, I'm disregarding what I know on the matter as of this point forward and will probably do some logic-bending efforts to attempt to reach some middle ground here, 'cause apparently being honest and sincere about what you know is being an asshole. But that's enough about that.I didn't call you an asshole because of your argumentation or your position. I called you one because you used insulting language. You said I seemed stupid and uneducated. While there are many bad things about me, I don't think being stupid or uneducated count among my faults. It seems to me you are a little manic-- running hot and cold, very reasonable one post and very belligerent another. So I'm willing to take at face value that you get steamed and have to step away sometimes, and I respect that. I have no problem with you, personally. But the problem here is that I've introduced every angle I can think of to support my position. I thought the idea of conditional belief was original and compelling enough to deserve a few posts. But there's not much more I can say. I've said my peace, and I'm getting tired of the repetitive nature of the thread. Unless someone can come up with a new angle, or interesting new examples, then there's really nothing left to do but disagree and move on. |
