'Nothing beyond the constructs to cover the abyss...

[Sean]

Strop, if I may point one thing out to you...

The bicycle is shining on my knee.

Now that makes perfect sense to me so if you don't respond the way I want to to you're a prick!

[loCAtek]

And/or you can ask questions like:

'Are you an atheist?'

'If atheism is not your faith/philosophy, what do you profess is your belief?

'Do you address all religion or just fanatical religion?"


BTW Evasion is not an answer ...but evasion

[Sean]

And deciding not to answer a deeply personal question is not evasion.

Tell you what, you give me one good reason to answer your questions and I will.

Actually, quid pro quo... I'm also going to need your full name and date of birth before I answer.

[Sean]

I didn't think so...

[loCAtek]

You brought up being theist or non-theist, as important to the debate; therefore I asked which position you stood on.

You didn't mention there was a time limit to respond, what's the relevance/need of that?

[Sean]

You brought up being theist or non-theist, as important to the debate;

Okay, I'll make an assertion too.

That Loca, it a barefaced lie.
Feel free to attempt to show otherwise...

And as for time limit, I assumed (rightly it seems) that after a whole week had gone by you had no response to offer.

[loCAtek]

Therefore, I ask you do you address all religion or just fanatical religion?

I'm not actually addressing anything. It wasn't my post you 'clarified'.

Also as an atheist, how is it you presume to speak for theists?

Where did I ever claim to be an atheist? I presume to speak for nobody, be they theist or non-theist, but myself.

[loCAtek]

To which I responded;

Very well Sean, as per your own advice to just ask:

'Are you an atheist?'

'If atheism is not your faith/philosophy, what do you profess is your belief?

'Do you address all religion or just fanatical religion?"



Now, let's see if you just answer directly, or continue to evade.

[loCAtek]

I took a week because I've been switched from night shift to days and my circadian rhythms are very tired.

[Sean]

So your evidence that

You brought up being theist or non-theist, as important to the debate

consists of me saying

I'm not actually addressing anything. It wasn't my post you 'clarified'

and

Where did I ever claim to be an atheist? I presume to speak for nobody, be they theist or non-theist, but myself.

Congratulations dear, you've outdone yourself this time!

[loCAtek]

You forgot;

To which I responded;

Very well Sean, as per your own advice to just ask:

'Are you an atheist?'

'If atheism is not your faith/philosophy, what do you profess is your belief?

'Do you address all religion or just fanatical religion?"



Now, let's see if you just answer directly, or continue to evade.

...or are you evading again?

[Sean]

Don't be so fucking dense! How can a post written by you show that I "brought up being theist or non-theist, as important to the debate"?

[loCAtek]

You [Sean] wrote;

Where did I ever claim to be an atheist? I presume to speak for nobody, be they theist or non-theist, but myself.

Rather than assume, I directly ask; are you an atheist or theist?, since you've made it pertinent, as you are a participant to the debate.

It clarifies, rather than obfuscates the issue.

[Scooter]

That statement does nothing to "make it pertinent". YOU are the only one trying to make an issue of who and who is not an atheist/theist.

Reading comprehension can be a useful tool.

[Sean]

LMFAO

And you have the audacity to call me evasive...

This is priceless! Please keep it going Loca...

As I said before, if you want personal information from me then practice what you preach and give it up first!

[loCAtek]

Very well, I'm a Buddhist, thanks for asking; and you are ...?

[Sean]

No dear, if you get to choose the personal information you want me to share then surely I should be afforded the same courtesy.

Did you miss it the first time I posted it or was the naughty Latin confusing?

Actually, quid pro quo... I'm also going to need your full name and date of birth before I answer.

[loCAtek]

Don't trouble yourself muchly; atheist or theist will do for me, luv.


BTW that quote have a name to it?

[Scooter]

Is there a smilie corresponding to someone sticking their fingers in their ears and singing LA LA LA?

[Sean]

No dear, if you get to choose the personal information you want me to share then surely I should be afforded the same courtesy.

Did you miss it the first time I posted it or was the naughty Latin confusing?

Actually, quid pro quo... I'm also going to need your full name and date of birth before I answer.

Is it less confusing now?
