Translation: Thump had a point because I misspoke, but I'm too high on myself to acknowledge it.

Oh, dear, you hold a bad opinion of me.Whatever am I to do?!

Forgive my apathy.

This is a discussion board; I'm discussing a flawed point you made. You can reply or not, that ain't my business.

You don't like it? You've got several options. You can think before pressing send next time, so that you don't get butthurt when someone points out your mistake. You can listen to what others are saying so that you can actually see what they're talking about, instead of projecting your obvious defensiveness into the discussion and looking like the bag of dicks that you apparently are.

Or you can simply log out.

It's still not an excuse to blame you for your own bias or intellectual myopia(you are who you are), but it gets to me. Be more considering of what I have to say in the future, if you're not able to perceive at a glance what the other person means. I was pretty clear on what I had to say on the topic discussed in this thread. Read my statements again and then reconsider what you implied I was saying about religious people's creativity.

Here's what you wrote:

Quote:I would think one would be deemed creative if they wrote a work of fiction, not admired one(let alone holding it to be real - that's what we call madness/stupidity).

There is one logical error in there, and one simple misunderstanding on your part. The misunderstanding is that you think people are being called creative because they admire their religious book; they're not. The logical error is that the belief of the artist is the determinant of his or her creativity.

You're welcome. Next time, you will have to do your own thinking.
