Situational Ethics or Tickbox ethics?

[Furstentum Liechtenstein]

Proinsias,

you didn't understand very much of what I wrote. You may want to go back and read it again.

I got that you are an agnostic, not an atheist.

I'm not an atheist, I have a love for religion but it extends far beyond Christianity.

Too bad. God himself hates religion and you have «a love for it». You are heading towards disaster!

That you have went from an atheist who despises Christianity to a Christian who mocks atheism does not surprise me. One exteme to the other.

The first part you got right. The second part you got wrong because you misunderstood what I wrote to you earlier. I don't mock atheists, I treat them as the Bible requires.

If Kristoffer decides he is a 'Kristoffer athiest', or a 'Dawkins atheist' or whatever then the definition of atheist doesn't apply to him either, assuming ze's a male. He can run with any defintion he wants, if Christains aren't bounds by the Merriam Webster dictionary why should anyone else be?

I have no problem with the terms «Kristoffer atheist» or «Dawkins atheist». However, Kristoffer defined himself as an agnostic atheist, a term devoid of sense as the words that compose it are mutually...opposed. It is like saying a «square circle» or a «triangular line»...it makes no sense. Get it?

[Kristoffer]

Square circles don't make sense, but I can make one.(just by labelling something as such?)

Ok so, Kristoffer Athiest.

You do know my name means Follower of Kristus don't you?

You really do have no clue as to what you are and/or believe.

Ja, well at least i am about just 95% certain about one thing.

You talk utter non-sense. You've been shown to be in complete error - accept it and move on.

[DannyM]

If you call someone a "major fool" or something similar and I don't agree, I'm going to voice my opinion. As I would hope you would do for me.

Pro,

You should go back and look at the context in which FL 'called' Kristoffer a "major fool". You'll see what I mean.

[Kristoffer]

You talk utter sense...accept it and move on.

Thanks. In regards to my "error", mind telling me which is what?

[DannyM]

You talk utter non-sense...accept it and move on.

Thanks. In regards to my error, I realise I haven't a clue what I'm talking about so apologise for my non-sense

That's quite alright.

This is very bizarre. I don't see the quote by Kristoffer, I mean where the original is . . . I wonder if he wrote it and took it off. I only see this one:

cs, Kristoffer doctored my quote so I doctored his in return...

Oh! Really? Let me or any other admin know if this happens, as it's against board guidelines (of course).

[Kristoffer]

Its just a friendly joke poke, I saw no rule against fun

I don't know what you changed, so I don't know if it was a joke or not. It's best not to change what someone wrote even jokingly, unless it's written within your own writing. Perhaps they won't see the joke otherwise.

Hmm, I didn't think Kristoffer's doctoring was quite cricket, so simply returned the favour...and with a great big smile on my face...Next time I'll be sure to let you know, providing it's worth bothering with, but won't return the favour again. Apologies.

I understand, so it's OK. By "cricket," do you mean innocent/benign?

Thanks cs,

"It's not cricket" is an English saying for "It's not the done thing...not playing fair" etc...

[Kristoffer]

Are you sure that's not "croquet" the game with hammers because I play that. It can get very unfair

Anyway, this is sort of a situation? I mean this is a sort of example of a time when its ok to be a little bit in error, for fun
