Atheists; what do you base your morals on?

[catfish]

Please, elaborate on how the Bible invented anything.

Objection: asked and answered.

You mean objection because you're just going to say the Hebrews invented things again?

Like I said, semantics.

Since you object to the very common reference to the bible as a source of anything, I'm surprised you didn't object to the very general reference of the Hebrews.

And being that no one knows for sure who really wrote ANY of the books of the bible, any reference to anything contained in it would obviously not appeal to you.

Semantics at it's finest!

Give (to make a present of) yourself (that identical one that is you) a (used when referring to someone or something for the first time in a text or conversation) pat (To tap gently with the open hand or with something flat) on (Physically in contact with and supported by) the (used before singular or plural nouns and noun phrases that denote particular, specified persons or things) back (the posterior portion of the trunk of the human body between the neck and the pelvis; the dorsum)

I don't know whether to laugh at you or school you on the definition of semantics... I'm not arguing the meaning of any words, I'm pointing out the idiocy of saying an inanimate object invented something... Carry on.

You know catfish, you're getting worse at this. All you seem to be doing lately is deliberately misrepresenting what people actually say and, well... that doesn't actually make them look dumb...

Did you really just argue against the use of a word while also arguing that aren't doing that?

Anyway, as defined:

Semantics (from Ancient Greek: σημαντικός sēmantikós)[1][2] is the study of meaning. It focuses on the relation between signifiers, like words, phrases, signs, and symbols, and what they stand for, their denotation.

Linguistic semantics is the study of meaning that is used for understanding human expression through language. Other forms of semantics include the semantics of programming languages, formal logics, and semiotics.

The word semantics itself denotes a range of ideas, from the popular to the highly technical. It is often used in ordinary language for denoting a problem of understanding that comes down to word selection or connotation. This problem of understanding has been the subject of many formal enquiries, over a long period of time, most notably in the field of formal semantics. In linguistics, it is the study of interpretation of signs or symbols used in agents or communities within particular circumstances and contexts.[3] Within this view, sounds, facial expressions, body language, and proxemics have semantic (meaningful) content, and each comprises several branches of study. In written language, things like paragraph structure and punctuation bear semantic content; other forms of language bear other semantic content.[3]

In case there is fundamental problem with textual understanding, a signifier is a person or thing that signifies. For this reason, the term "semantics" covers a wide range in it's use and application.

My use of the word was, of course, secondary, but was carefully placed to demonstrate the fact that subject matter was being avoided in favor of trivial debate over use of words.

I'll definitely keep that in mind while considering whether to waste time responding to pettty individuals in the future.

However, the Hebrews did re-invent god in their writings as someone who cared only about their culture and cause.

In that sense, you are incorrect about the bible and invention.

Bolded and italicized just for the Hades of it.

Nope, I'm still right.

Ummmm, I accepted your words as stated, you're the dumbass arguing semantics. Instead of arguing your semantics, you should just acknowledge the mistake and move on, but of course you won't and we'll be doing this for a while and I'll be laughing at the amount of fucking hoops you'll be able to jump through to perpetuate your delusion of being right.

Fucking amatuers.....

I'm done trying to help you understand basic fundamentals of writing and communication.

I am curious, however, if you are ever going to offer anything of substance to this subject or any for that matter.

I have yet to see something.

Catfish is a "troll", I'm convinced.

Duh! .
