It's not oppression to keep people from doing something they don't want to do. When you need to warp definitions so grossly to make your point, you should just consider dropping the point.
Quote:Oh, no: that's why I asked you about the other sins as well.You mean the ones that Adam had no desire to commit?
Quote:And you very kindly told me that all of them were unacceptable. Which is why I say you haven't actually provided an argument against the salient point at all; you claimed that things were different in the garden because the sole "oppression" was not being allowed to eat from one tree, but when pressed you admit that all the other sins were equally not allowed, and therefore the situation is no different from earth at all.Again, it's not oppression when they didn't want to do it.
Quote:Your inability to understand your own argument is quite amusing, though.Your need to twist the definition of oppression is quite telling.
