Religious moderates enable religious extremists

[worldslaziestbusker]

...First in, best dressed.

I actually WAS the first in.
And I was just asking if you regard me as a moderate or an extremist because your bait and switch routine is passé

I will happily take up the negative.
It's not religious moderates who enable extremists, not unless you call agnostic atheism a "moderate" position.

You were the first to post. Well spotted, that Lion, but you didn't address the topic, so I figured you were doing your usual tangent thing, addressed your question and asked you to move along, giving first in status to The Germans Are Coming, who actually attempted to address the topic. Not the first opportunity to debate me you've passed up. When I ask you to do X to get Y, don't expect to get Y by doing Z. Clear instructions are clear. Play the hurt fawn card all you want, and claim I bait and switch. I've offered you the opportunity to debate me live, in Melbourne, at my expense, and you opted to do Z instead of responding in the manner required, so don't try to act as though I've been disingenuous in my dealings with you, LiorIRC.

You would have to actually answer the Crocodilemma for it to have any bearing on whether or not you constitute an extremist, but there are many lesser cuttoffs beyond which you would not constitute a moderate in the eyes of anyone other than those more extreme than you.

All of this is moot, though, as you don't actually have to be a moderate or an extremist to take the negative side, and it appears I am actually debating another atheist on the matter. I'll open a new thread for the Crocodilemma so you can give your answer, and the repurcussions of that answer can be discussed without further tramping footprints over what I hoped would be a duologue.
