Look, E, this is ridiculous. Why can't you ask me what I meant by the word "admission" instead of deciding that I must have meant it in a way that reflects ill upon you. I used the word to mean "acknowledged". If you'd rather I'd used "acknowledged," then simply substitute it. You SAID (how's that for a neutral term) atheism has nothing to do with ethics. My response was in the context of THAT STATEMENT. You shifted it to another context, one that was not on the table, whether or not atheists are ethical. It doesn't belong to that context. I expressed no opinion about that context. I will not express any opinion about that context. I've done my best to explain things to you and I officially give up. You have so completely misunderstood and distorted what I said that I wonder whether you are being willfully obtuse. You are wrong. You said what you said. Then you misinterpreted what I said to mean that you said "atheists are less ethical than believers." You didn't ask me what I meant, you decided what I meant and all the effort I made to try to show you the error you were making is for naught. I think it's ridiculous that you continue to try to make me argue about something I never said. It's just unbelievable. I know you are an intelligent woman, but you are just plain wrong, and I think you know it but just are too proud to admit it. This is the absolute last post I will ever write on this topic. The subject is closed. If you attempt to engage me on this topic again I will not respond.
