Yet Another Conversion Story~

[fr0d0]

Your premise was - 'you said this and therefore believe this' ...which was incorrect. Like the question: "when did I stop beating my wife" ...there is no answer, just a point to make about the premise.

[Edwardo Piet]

No.... my premise was more like "if you believe X, then I presume that means Y?" (note the question mark and the hypothetical "if"!).

Here's what I said:

So if, fr0d0, that's a misquote - then I presume you deny it yourself?? And you somehow were not - in that quote - implying that you believe Christianity does require belief in order to be understand?

So, once again, note the hypothetical "if" and the question mark at the end.

Did you actually read the correct quote?

[Edwardo Piet]

Yes, that quote of mine that I just quoted, was from the post directly preceding yours that told me I'd "got it wrong". And I don't know what you mean by that. I was inquiring.

EvF

[fr0d0]

Uh? ....no, the quote you're asking about.

[Edwardo Piet]

I was inquiring about the quote that Purple Rabbit quoted, I was being hypothetical. So for you to say that what I said was "wrong" or "mistaken" doesn't make much sense to me... considering I was not making a statement - I was being hypothetical and asking a question!!

Death would be easier

You assumed the original quote wrongly. My answer pointed that out, therefore answering your question.

[Edwardo Piet]

I was being hypothetical and asked a question... I don't see how that can be "wrong".

My assumption was only based on my hypothetical which in itself was just a question anyway... so I am not sure what you are saying is "wrong".....

Try asking a straight question

[Edwardo Piet]

It was. It was just based on a hypothetical.

I was theorizing, speculating, and inquiring.
