The Problem with the Gospels

[Edwardo Piet]

Do you really think I'm saying I contradicted myself Evie? C'mon.. wake up.

You did say that.

That is a contradiction

Your response:

I agree it's a contradiction. hence my reply.

(my bolding).

What I'm asking for here is for you to stir those brain cells into action rather than me think for you. We do that all the time and you never take anything in. So I'm trying this tack.

By 'tack' I assume you mean tactic... and what I wonder is... what kind of a tactic is the tactic of 'contradict yourself', 'admit to contradicting yourself', 'contradicted your admittance to contradicting yourself' and then acting bewildered at me even suggesting that you ever said you contradicted yourself?....... (even when you did)????

My brain cells are working fine thank you. You are not making any sense. I don't say it simply like you say it without any explanation whatsoever... I say it with my explanation that you are not making any sense due to the contradictions I point out... and due to you contradicting your own admittance to such contradictions!

The "debate"

You repeated a question without qualification. My non answer was justified without further explanation from yourself. Why can't you post twice? Where is this unwritten rule you speak of? Why wasn't I made aware? I asked you to make another post - how clear can I make it that I want you to make two consecutive posts?

My last post was asking for clarification in your previous post.... because I wanted confirmation. If I was to post another post what on earth were you expecting it to be? I was not meant to be debating myself. How is the debate going to move on if you won't even respond to me asking if I fully understood what you meant by your previous post?

Why couldn't I have posted twice? Well I don't like to double post... but I mean... just because it's possible for me to do so doesn't mean I'm going to simply write a post when there's nothing more to be said.

A double post from me would be pointless. It makes no difference to editing my post. And nothing more needed to be added to it.. I was simply awaiting your response to my asking for clarification. What could be simpler?

You say that your non-answer was justified without further explanation from me....

...Well actually....... your non-answer was just a refusal to answer my question. And my explanation was and is simply that I was asking for clarification.
