The fact that you can use the word bird in two different ways has never been in dispute, so why you chose to make that the focus of your challenge to the observation that two mutually exclusive truth claims cannot both be true is just weird. A feathered bird and a plucked bird are not mutually exclussive,

"I've no idea even what you are referring to about him being wrong, his logic is definitely biased and flawed on account of his letting his bias underly the truth essay."

You do seem to be in some sort of fog. His main point is that two mutually exclusive truth claims cannot both be true and he openly admitted that one or both may very well be wrong. You have done nothing to address the central point of the article except to strangely deny that the truth claims in his example are actually mutually exclusive by talking about birds. Weird!

"I have repeatedly presented his exact quote and represented it for what it is."

"<<<At least you bothered to accurately quote him this time rather than putting words into his mouth that are not there.>>>"

No you have not and I challenged you directly on it.

<<<You seem to be reading your own issues into the text that are not actually there. Nowhere in the article does he conclude that:
"you have an obligation to attack others based on his presumption of being right.">>> Message 26885126

You claimed that it was his conclusion that Christians: "have an obligation to attack others based on his presumption of being right" that claim is demonstrably false. His call was for reasoned dialog and to not be bullied by people like you who claim everybody is right (except those who dare to disagree with you and therefore must be some sort of "religious fanatic, someone so blinded by his narrow-minded convictions that he has no tolerance for other's beliefs").
