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.
Proinsias wrote: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! :titanic:
Proinsias wrote: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.
Proinsias wrote: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?

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? :D

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.

Pro,

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

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:

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...

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

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 :ebiggrin:
