This is such a perfect representation of your refusal to address anything. You clearly understand him. He clearly stated his point. But instead of providing a counter point, you are attacking his word choice? Do you really just not have an answer?
Let's try this from now on. When you have an issue with the specific wording of someone's post, just make an assumption. It seems like we'd waste a lot less time if we were correcting your understanding of us than you clarifying every other word in an attempt to not address the topic.
I try not to make assumptions. I do so out of respect. For in the past I have been charged on numerous occassions by atheists of making assumptions when speaking with them. So I refrain from doing so. Now you are telling me to make assumptions. Since more atheists have accused me of doing wrong when making assumptions than those that have told me I should, I refrain.
If this is a problem for you then I suggest you speak with your fellow atheists who have something against me making assumptions and come to some sort of consensus.
Until then, I will try not to assume anything.
If you all would like me to address the so called problem of evil I will be happy to. One of you needs to type up the argument and present it in a clear and concise fashion in a new thread and I will do my best to engage it.
