Why thank you kind sir.

Ok, since you aren't going to try - let me do it for you....
Me: "Do you deny that Christianity (in part*) explicitly requires belief to understand it?" *part missed out from original text "So if, fr0d0, that's a misquote - then I presume you deny it yourself??" Both the misquote and the original say roughly the same thing. The original just specifies "in part". So... the matter of quote/ misquote has no bearing on my position: Christianity, in part, explicitly requires belief. I've said the same very many times to you previously, so why you wouldn't know this already is beyond my understanding. "And you somehow were not - in that quote - implying that you believe Christianity does require belief in order to be understand?" - and here is you yet again repeating yourself. Clear? fr0d0 Wrote:Do you deny that Christianity in part explicitly requires belief to understand it? I was replying to the above quote. So if that isn't a misquote then we have no problems... if it is then I assume you do not in fact support it.... (I am being hypothetical here you see, for I am not sure what you believe...and then I end with a question mark (for I am also inquiring): )? How can a hypothetical and a question be wrong? And if what you are saying is a misquote and you do not agree with it... (and once more... I'm still only inquiring... no statement is being made) how am I mistaken? EvF

You're not sure even though I clearly stated my position in the post before yours?
No wonder you're confused! 
I was asking a question and being hypothetical and you treated what I said as a statement that can be "wrong".... that is what I see to be confused.

I see so you're choosing to ignore your question now and are focussing on what you didn't understand in the reply... right - so we need to move the goal posts then....
In your question you ask "if" the misquote is me saying the opposite of what was quoted - which you can now clearly see was never the case. Both quote and misquote were the same position but to a differing degree. So your question, being about what was never said, was invalid. Get this one?
I do not personally believe it is a misquote.... I was joking by saying sort of "Now if THAT'S a misquote [as well as the previous one that actually was] , you're screwed! So admit to it not being a misquote this time you pedant (just kidding!
)".That's what I was doing (or trying to do!). EvF
