Hi Selma, Thanks for your thoughts and the information. You have been forthright in your comments. I specially like, "compromise, does not make your own values and ideology any less valid." I am at a loss where I should place you on "the maturity" and "the benevolent" scale of different atheists. I wonder how the purists reacted to your writing. As I stated to Aristo, some in your camp will not permit us to have an intellectual dialogue. So, I think I will drop the subject.
I would have loved to respond to your "compromise" and "After all, what does the rock solid Christian code teach us." For now I can only feel your pain at the confused state of your personal self. I understand you restraining yourself from "arrogantly assert your own ideas into every sphere of life." Of course all of this, ghuspot, would have been forestalled, if an atheist married another atheist. You could save yourself and others from the agony. Or are you suggesting that, the marriage makes one lose faith in God? Now, you may be up to something logical here!:=)) Aristo are you reading this? A short story of a "benevolent agnostic" worshiping at a Catholic Church. When the offering plate came around, the "benevolent agnostic" put monopoly money in the collection plate. The usher whispered to the "benevolent agnostic" that, "this is fake money." The "benevolent agnostic" whispered back, "I think this is a fake religion".:=)) Kind Regards, GL ------------ Carvalho wrote: Just because you compromise, does not make your own values and ideology any less valid.

That it is important to compromise in a relationship or arrogantly assert your own ideas into every sphere of life? _______________________________________________ Goanet mailing list [email protected] http://lists.goanet.org/listinfo.cgi/goanet-goanet.org
