But maybe you see the problem here. You've been repeatedly asked what you think instead of quoting the catechism over and over. But your only answer, as well as CL's, was to be perfectly in line with the catechism. First, I don't believe that for one second, since you are human and not part of a hive mind.
A group of Americans can believe every word of the Constitution. A group of Democrats can believe every plank of their party's platform. Why can't a Catholic believe and agree with every word of the Catechism?
If I disagreed, I might not even BE Catholic.
Quote:And secondly it leads to the all too common mistake of lumping all atheists together. Yes, we might agree on some matters and yes, there are some, who take the words of prominent atheists as some kind of gospel. But otherwise the only defining feature is disbelief. So if you want to know what we're thinking, you'd have to do that on an individual level.
Yep. Makes sense. Would you agree, however, that there are SOME broad agreements even among atheists?
