John is comfortable keeping his sin.

I don't really care if you want to drop this subject. I almost did not want
to respond to this, but I figure maybe somebody on the list might get
interested in logic and check out some of the issues that I discuss here. I
really don't expect you to do your homework and see that the subject of
logical syllogisms goes far beyond your introductory college course in logic
and debate. Who knows, maybe you will pleasantly surprise me with a
gracious reply.
The context of my challenge was that of truth. I failed to stipulate that in challenging you to create a syllogism that found me guilty of being comfortable in sin. Because I did not do this, you gave me a good butt kicking. salute.
My logic course was a debate related course taken 40 years ago. It was an introductory course. salute.
I did, in fact find my notes for long ago. Should have started with that discovery. And you should have started with the truth. The challenge would have meant something in that case.
I do not believe the syllogism above meets the criteria, but I will find out from one who knows. It certainly does not contain any truth -- and that is the face saving issue for me. Pretty good one, too.
