You said this, and I am tired of reminding you of it to no avail:
"I see you've abandoned your argument that atheists are as ethical as believers."
"Abandoning your argument that" = conceding or giving up your former point
"That atheists are as ethical as believers" = that atheists are as ethical as believers
Show me where I did that, Cobe.
A hundred bucks if you can.
You don't get the hundred for posting the obvious, and irrelevant, yet again-- that it is my oft-iterated position, (mine and Webster's), that atheism is a belief that there is no God, and theism a belief that there is. To ascertain the relative ethical status of a given atheist and theist, you must seek information on that subject, because with only those labels, you have none, any more than you are in possession knowledge about their temperaments or taste in music (and as we know, there is no evidence that atheists are, on average, less ethical than theists, the Pope's blaming of the Holocaust on atheists notwithstanding.)
Show me where I "abandoned my argument that atheists are as ethical as believers," and I'll put a hundred dollar check in the mail-- a nice dinner out, or even two.
Hell, let's make it a thousand.
The "dissent" bit is so silly. Your "dissent" is in no way relevant to your problem with me.
A thousand.
Show me where I did what you claimed I did. |
