Then remember what I brought up later: Either the truth you acknowledge is meaningful to you, or it isn't. I find it meaningful. You don't. All I can do is try to explain it in a more meaningful way. Clearly you find my (or any) description lacking. Why "should" you care? I don't know, you aren't a child, you do as you will.I care whether or not "oxygen exists" is true as well, but that seems like an awfully diminutive form of caring. As it turns out, whether or not it is true is about as relevant to whether or not this god business is true. You can't actually provide a reason to care, in some other less-than-diminutive form, and so you present the funhouse mirror version of
"Either you care about the truth or you don't"
It's an attempt to leverage some -other- obviously unrelated concepts attachments and transfer the credibility and positive judgement to the thing that you are incapable of articulating. It's also a subtle form of character assassination. This is why it fails.
Quote:If you can't tell, with you, I know it's going very poorly. You asked me to try. Even though you and I both knew I would do very poorly, I tried anyway because who knows, maybe something in my poor description would stand out to you. Well, clearly it hasn't. What do you want from me?Only to help you do your best. To get passed the stumbling blocks common to amateur internet apologists. If a diminutive form of caring about a meaningless form of relationship to an evil god is where we find ourselves....and it is....then I propose you haven't adequately or accurately communicated the message you have in mind, about the god you have in mind.
I'm trying to help you get past the "well, some people don;t care about truth" -bullshit, that's just bog standard apologist trolling. That's beneath both yourself, and your god, correct?
