That must be your christian heart speaking.
BTW, where is that quote where I say that I have distinguished if the world should be understood in the light of the garglemoth, god, zoroaster or satan?

Did you notice the likeness with my recipe for a religion?
If it's OK to attribute something on blind faith alone (your illogic), with no need for a verifiable causal connection between reality and that what is attributed, no descriptive or explanatory power resulting from the attribution, no verifiable trace in the observable of it, I can attribute anything to you I like, for instance:
9/11, "i'm an imposter", 2+2=5, "I believe in Santa Claus", ...
This is were it leads to: more illogic.

Of course Rabbit I was simply following the game.
Being a Theological Noncognitivist you clearly don't bother with accuracy. So you're welcome to your logical inaccuracies.

OK, so you are an imposter and you believe in Santa Claus.

All seems rather infantile imho.
Atheism = Absence of a deity
KISS it kiddies.
Didn't they discover sex too?
So I am assured...

That doesn't make it true though.
Yeah, and I noticed he said quite the opposite, as opposed to completely the opposite. It's certainly not completely the opposite to the God of the Gaps because both share in common the fact they are utter utter bullshit.

LOL same thing really Evie. Rather a sweeping generalised (and baseless) assertion. Theological Noncognitivist me thinks you are.

I have to ask, is this some new catchphrase you just learned and now try to pin on everything? It is not sesame street, if you learn a new word use it in context. Furthermore you are trying to portrait theological noncognitivism as illogical but you have yet to show that it is.

LOL @ Sesame Street 
No I have nothing against it Leo - I just say it how it is... literally. Someone else pinned it onto Evie and I'm repeating it here. Rabbit first used it I think (to describe his own position). Now some new members are converts.
I don't see how TN can be illogical. It's simply a position of not thinking about theology. If you own it, wear it with pride I say.
