Is there a reason I should apologize? Is that your real question?
Are you about to equivocate my awareness that I may have stumbled within my social group, and need to assert corrections, with the assumption of a necessary cause outside myself and my group, i.e. god? If so, then you may move on. Your entire premise is based upon an assumed presumption with absolutely no quantifiable nor empirical evidence to support it. The bible, your ever-changing traditions, your gooey feelings, and your fantasies are all your ilk have - not a god.

FFF, you are jumping around and putting words into my mouth.
You like to use terms for logical fallacies and throw them at any argument that is not on your side. I do not doubt that you are intelligent.
My next question is - if you stumbled and asserted your correction, and this behavior was taught to you, were you truly forgiven or did that person or people have a no choice but to forgive you (rendering their forgiveness useless and insincere)?

". . . let the atheists themselves choose a god. They will find only one divinity who ever uttered their isolation; only one religion in which God seemed for an instant to be an atheist." -G. K. Chesterton
