What Is The Point Of Prayer?

[discipulus]

God with a capital 'G' is reserved for the beginning of sentences and for those people who elevate their version of deity to proper noun status. I only concern myself with the former.

While you may view the word in that fashion, it is evident from other atheists here that they do not view the word in that fashion, which is my point.

Disc-without knowing why you were corrected, I assume you lumped atheists together in some improper fashion.

I did lump them together in an improper fashion. I said what Maelstrom said earlier. But that statement is not correct. It is lumping atheists together in an improper fashion and stating that they all believe that "god" is referring to the God of the Bible. This is not accurate for atheists differ in opinion as to what the word refers to.

When I corrected Maelstrom, I was told that an opinion cannot be false..... Ok.......

The fact remains, if you say atheists are mentioning the God of the Bible when they use the word "god", you are still lumping all atheists together in an improper fashion.

When Maelstrom commits the error, no charge is brought against him. When I commit the error, I am charged with being stereotypical. This is not consistent.

That is my point.

I wanted the person that labels themselves to be a "writer" to learn from my mistake. I.e. to not be ambiguous when writing.

That is a mistake on your part that is going to be called out.

And the atheist that makes the very same mistake also needs to be called out. In the same way I would call my fellow Christian out for misrepresenting an atheist.

Your attempt to flip the script by claiming someone was vague in using 'god' without clarification fell flat because the discussion was with christians, about Christian concepts. (As I fadingly recall.) There was no doubt in my mind...if there was for you, you could have asked. Instead, you made a grand 'Ha-Ha!' spectacle of things.

Your point is moot. Maelstrom said "when atheists mention god they are mentioning the God of the Bible". This is simply incorrect. Not every atheist thinks that way.

Instead of admitting he was wrong, he sidesteps the issue and says it is just his opinion.
