Faith, Hope & Love?

[Mister Agenda]

Thanks for the serious replies...

But, most of you either think I have a ulterior motive for asking these questions, or some hidden meanings in the words I use/used.

"Hear me now, believe me later"! You will know when I'm being vindictive. It won't be hiding in some message or words.

For future reference, when I post a new thread its about understanding the mind, motivations and reasons of atheists. PERIOD

Maybe someday you'll learn to how to write those posts so it sounds like you just sincerely want to know. Here's an example of one way you could have done that:

I am wondering if the words 'fatih', 'hope', and 'love' mean the same thing to atheists that they do to Chrisitians. I'd be interested in hearing your take on those words, based on your feelings, not the dictionary, please.

Note the lack of mutterings about piracy, implications that the words have no meaning for us, lack of assumption that the words are trademarked by Dhristians, and lack of your personal speculations about what we think in general.

The last part of your post about the logic of these virues should have been left until you had some answers to respond to, as a way of stimulating further conversation informed by the replies that you got.

I don't think it's that hard to make a post that's polite in the first place. Your pattern seems to be post something rude, get beat on for it, and then whine that you were 'just asking questions'. You can do better than that, if you really want to.
