Situational Ethics or Tickbox ethics?

[DannyM]

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

Well, when you have no idea what you're tallking about then I guess it's rather fufilling playing games... Ja?

Fl:

I've reread your post and I'm still not following.

You wrote:

Now, I am in their position and see atheists like yourself or Kristoffer or vile as hopelssly lost...

I wrote:

I'm not an atheist

You wrote:

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

That doesn't follow too well for me but perhaps I am misunderstanding you.

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!

Perhaps I am. Does God hate the Merriam Webster definition "worship of God"? And forgive me about being suspicious when a 'wretched man' tells me what Gos loves and God hates.

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.

I see it as mockery, you telling me you got it from a book doesn't change this. Many here claim to also follow this book, yet manage to avoid the condescending tone.

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?

No. It's not devoid of sense to me and many others, if you can't cope with that's fine. One deals with knowledge and the other belief. One can also be a agnostic theist - a theist in belief who does not yet have gnosis of God.

Atheist/theist may be mutually opposed, not agnostic atheist.

Pro,

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

Danny

I have done. Agnostic atheist may be something we disagree upon but no need to start calling people major fools.

[Kristoffer]

blasted...Well people can be foolish in different ways I suppose.

Proinsias,

What exactly do you not understand? Spell it out clearly.

If you are neither an agnostic nor an atheist, what are you?

Does God hate the Merriam Webster definition "worship of God"? And forgive me about being suspicious when a 'wretched man' tells me what Gos loves and God hates.

What is the definition of «worship of God»? and how could you possibly know? A dictionary would have no such definition.

I see it as mockery, you telling me you got it from a book doesn't change this. Many here claim to also follow this book, yet manage to avoid the condescending tone.

There is no mockery although you are interpreting that. Maybe your feelings are easily hurt, I don't know. Get over it.

...no need to start calling people major fools.

Now, you are far too strict in your sourpuss/narrow-minded definition of the term «major fool»! I meant it as «you funny guy!» or «you great big funny guy!» Don't you know that words are plastic and we can use them whichever way we want? Talk about being in a straight-jacket!

Nothing wrong with being funny. Well on the condition that the situation calls for it. Sometimes though you just have to put on a brave face and be deadly serious.

Yo kris! What's 'appenin'? I was thinking of spending a week in Sweden one day - where should I stay?

[Kristoffer]

Where everything is happening, the countryside is nice and all but stay in the capitol. Mörbylí¥nga is also quite a nice region you could visit or maybe gislaved. Anyway if you do visit, enjoy yourself it is not every day you visit a country so fair and away from strife.(literally we has been neutral in most wars and have a very limited army)
