Why is it not about which game is better? You want to play a certain game and certain rules will be logically better for that kind of game, but why should people lay down the game they want to play (with rules that are logically better for their game) and play the game you want to play? You and I want a fair game; not everyone else does.

Post #162Because it is nothing to do with the Rules that we devise to play the game and choose the rules that make it work.The Tanager wrote: ↑Fri Aug 23, 2024 11:00 am [Replying to TRANSPONDER in post #160]

That was the point.
You want to talk about the game, point tics, music, sport, crime and law, fine, but try to understand the analogy or or you will have no contribution to make.,
If anyone thinks my analogy is flawed, I invite comment, but I don't think it is, only your lack of understanding of it.
p.s
Here's what I think the problem is; Theist apologists do not grasp concepts; they do not want to and cannot afford to (keyword exegesis) Instead of understanding the argument (which is d fatal to their beliefs) they pock on anything and contest it without regard to whether it is relevant or not.Come on now,
isn't that what you were doing?-

Re: Cultural Christians.
Post #170Those are good enough starting points, although I think they leave room for misunderstandings.bluegreenearth wrote: ↑Sun Sep 01, 2024 7:57 pmDo you agree to the widely accepted definitions above, or do you have proprietary definitions for those terms? If you have proprietary definitions, please prove them for clarification. Thanks.
