@BADecker How do you, almost singlehandedly, manage to stay so calm and collected in this heated conversation of atheists vs religion? Do you have a 'machine' heart?
It's easy. I haven't even figured out what you mean by "heated conversation of atheists vs religion?" Are you talking about something between us? Or are you talking about this thread in general? Or are you talking about anywhere in the forum that atheists express their religion? Or are you talking about life in general?
Since you like to use words that don't really express much of anything clearly, how could anyone even think that there is much of a conversation going on?
It's kinda like a Russian and an American talking to each other when neither knows the other's language. They both understand a few words here and there. But they sit there and blabber at each other, and storm or smile without knowing what the other is saying.
Now, did you understand any of what I just wrote in this post? Are you going to twist it into something that is meaningless in your response?
Use your logic BADecker - I'm talking about this very specific thread - the spot where we (all the posters) are posting.
There is enough of a conversation going on to reply to posts and continue the line of (replied to) thought - that is good enough don't you think - otherwise why even be on a forum like this? What would be the point if understanding was minimal, beneath the threshold of 'enough' understanding to reply, to begin with (in the first place)?
I understood pretty good what you just wrote. The question you have to ask yourself next is, do you understand enough of what I just wrote or are you going to twist it into something ridiculous in your next response.
