MP: Sorry Ron. I did not mean to imply that, but sure see how you could take it so. English is a poor language when it comes to pronouns. My comment was meant to indicate, that in a generalized sense (hence my quoting "your" way, v. "our" way and by positing "if") that when an atheistic position becomes antitheistic, it is no longer the scenario you described of "you have your way and I have mine." It becomes an active attempt by one "way" to abridge, destroy, dismantle, usurp, etc. another "way." And then, it is distinctly *not* "the end of it" to say its just two different opinions, or beliefs. That's all I was trying to say. MP ---- "Don't believe everything you think."
