MP: That is clear. And yet you profess to be able to respond to them
with such
self righteous conviction. Interesting approach for someone so
critical of static
religious institutions.
Is it interesting?

MP: What makes you think I am trying to convince you of anything other than
your failure to listen?
I do not find any meaning in the concept of god or theism. You seem
not to understand that.

MP: I do. But a metaphysics being atheistic does not mean theism is either
irrelevant or even bad, even in that metaphysics. Oranges are atheistic, but
eating them doesn't preclude you from being theistic or require you to be
atheistic. Science is atheistic, but being a scientist doesn't
preclude you from
being theistic or require you to be atheistic. MoQ is atheistic, but
... Get my
drift?
God and theism, as concepts, have no meaning for me. Get my drift?

MP: I have never attempted to refute that fact, why do you
continuously insist I
have?
I am simply restating a fact, and the evidence for that fact.

MP: And denying something without knowing it is the basis of ignorance.
If I deny the existence of an one-eyed, flying purple people eater,
is that a basis for ignorance?

MP: No, there was a different man.
Oh, the statement "God is love" in 1 Jn 4:16 was about a man.
Marsha, I just find it odd the degree to which you wish an abundance of joy
using such negative methods. You and I obviously have drastically different
understandings of joy.
Is disagreeing with you a negative method? That's sad.
