No, actually what I'm suggesting is that your point is inconsequential. Like Humpty Dumpty, you pay the words extra to mean (or not mean) what you wish, but the result is to confuse and pollute communication rather than facilitate it.

I'not even sure I want it and, if I did, I sure wouldn't know what to do with it.

Reasonable!

What's my point, that atheism is inconsequential? If so, why are you an atheist?

I await your reply

I haven't a clue what you're talking about.

WJ

Reasonable!

Don't be afraid to answer: why are you an atheist?

I seem to recall something about weakmindedness...

Walrus

Jayhawker Soule

From me? I honestly do not recall using such word. Perhaps you could supply the quote.

WJ

Reasonable!

Don't worry, I didn't think it was you in particular who said that, so you're off the hook (though you may believe that). I think there were other atheist's who've asserted that from other threads....

Back to your concern: if atheism is inconsequential, why did you choose to be an atheist?

Is the seat getting warm?

How many times were you dropped on your fontanel as a child? Five? Ten? Double digits?

Third-rate semantics horseshit carries no weight here, Wally.

Nor does forced deconstruction to solipsism in order to desperately try to establish a misonstrued stalemate, so what's the point?

Try just once to make a coherent argument that doesn't rely entirely upon forced semantics games, yes?

All you do is further demonstrate (however indirectly) that the atheism default (the absence of belief in a god or gods) is inescapable except through denial.

Prove all you like that objectivity is in the eye of the beholder, it only demonstrates that a god or gods do not exist. You won't get any argument from me.

Objectivity does not literaly exist; it is indeed a mutually agreed upon construct of human social interaction. Believe anything you want to believe; no one will give a shit.

PREACH IT TO ME OR MY CHILDREN OR IMPOSE IT UPON ME OR MY CHILDREN IN ANY WAY SHAPE OR FORM AND I'LL REVEAL YOUR FRAUD AT EVERY POSSIBLE OPPORTUNITY.

Got it?

There will never be any merit or point to your childish semantics games, Wally, so the stalemate you think you're establishing only serves to further devastate theist misconceptions about the nature of reality, so thanks for the help, but we can handle it.

Has anybody considered the fact that WJ might be SingleDad revenge trolling?
