You made it perfectly clear to me that you have no interest in seeking to understand what I'm saying, even if I try to do that for what you're saying:Turning into a regular Hugster, now, aren't you, lol? I never told you that I wasn't interested in seeking to understand you. That;s your convenient reading of what I told you, convenient only in that you feel it absolves you of any onus to explain what you clearly wish for us to understand.
Quote:If I don't even have your good will towards "getting" what I am trying to say, then I don't think talking about this will be beneficial for either of us. Thanks for your thoughts, but clearly I am not the sort of person who can give you what you are seeking.You don't have my good will because you don't deserve it, you say roundly dismissive things about people who don't believe in what you can't coherently articulate. Apparently, I don't live a full and whole human life, lol. My tone and manner of response is a return in kind. You don't realize it because your absurd superstitions have had the sort of privilege required to sweep that under the rug and scuttle any chance at honest introspection. More broadly, I'm not interested in hiding my disdain for a person who self identifies with the criminal organization you call a church. Would you prefer that I lied to you, and whispered pleasant nothings into your ear?
I'm not seeking anything other than how you rationalize this whole business. As I've repeatedly told you, my objection to your religion -assumes it's truth-. Nevertheless, you seem to think there's a reason to care, you seem to want to express that reason to others, and I'm providing you with the platform to do so with my responses. Trying to help you move past the endless arguments for god, and onto the subject of the question. This is where it gets really, really simple. If you had such a reason, if you could compel me to care or change my position on the faith you hold..........then you'd have something worthwhile, worthwhile in ways that arguments from necessity in threadbare disguise just aren't.
Well, do you?
