    Should "playing dumb" fool anyone? You still did not answer any of the questions posed to you.

    I don't read any of this the same way you do. I don't see where it says we are the same as God. I once made a town for snails so they could be like us, but obviously, they were nothing "like" us at all. They had homes, roads, hospitals, schools, sporting events... yet they were not us and the town was nothing like a real town. It was simply town-like.

    Because you have been dodging the question I asked you. I'm not playing your games.

    If you'd like to answer my question, we can talk.

    While I have no objection to the quoted material in the OP, I have never liked this thread title. It has bothered me since day one. I don't like the implication it leaves. While folks polled may differ how to apply the labels and while a percentage of people may have been confused by the questions and the categories in this poll, the impression is that atheists feel abnormally 'lost' or ambivalent or torn about the subject matter. Its as though that is the 'discovery' of this poll. Its not, and I sure am not feeling 'lost' whatsoever. I feel relaxed and comfortable in my agnostic/ atheist clothing and whichever label Webster or or the pollsters or anyone else chooses for me, it's not my problem, or my worry and it is not a major imposition to have you, dear reader, or Joe sixpack or anyone else, get the labeling wrong or inconsistently. If anyone needs to know what I believe, they ask; I explain. Its all good.

    I do not like the implication in the title that my lack of faith has me feeling any less content, and secure than a theist. I am not searching for some metaphysical landmark to lead me to truth. I am found to be on very firm emotional footing, perfectly balanced, and ready to move foreward as an agnostic and as an atheist. I think most of us are.

    Oh my goodness. I respond to your question and the questions of many others (both Theist and non-theist) seeking clarification of their intent behind the use of particular words... and all I get is ridicule from them. Am I now supposed to be gentle with you and bow down to you and respond to your questions without seeking clarification? Just for the record.... what 'games' are you speaking about?

    This is the 4th or 5th deliberate dodge. What are you scared of? Lol

    Your answer is void of proper grammar and syntax. If one wants to
    argue intelligently one must understand grammar and syntax.

    What did you mean to convey in your message?

    Do you know any members of this forum that fit the description given in that article? But you are right... bringing in OFF TOPIC subject matter is frowned upon.

    That would be about the 7th dodge accredited to you just in this thread and in dealing with me in this thread.

    Lol, I asked you a question first and you've been squirming and playing your games ever since.

    It's pathetic.

    I think you probably should trace our conversation back to its beginning. One of us is surely going to be in error.

    Nope. You said you are unaware of any 2,000 year old fairy tale. I then asked if you are a Christian and you have done everything possible to not answer that question.

    It's pathetic.

    As a matter of fact I do know a few members of this forum that fit the description.

    I can see that upsided down smile on your face, plain as day.

    Instead of making the blanket allegation, try showing a link to that posting.

    - - - Updated - - -

    What, pray tell, is an "upsided down smile"? Do you have some secret spy camera installed in my home that would allow you to see my face "plain as day"? Have you been stalking me?

    Oh look, yet more grammar Nazi nonsense.

    Your seeming inability to decipher the intended meaning of statements containing minor spelling mistakes and inconsequential grammatical errors is as understandable as it is a pathetic ploy.

    Stalking you? Do you actually believe you are so important that some person or agency would spy on you or stalk you? Seems you have a much better imagination than I do. Either that or perhaps an amazingly distorted sense of self importance.

    So, asking you to clarify what an object of your speech is in reality is now construed as being a grammar nazi, when I said nothing about 'spelling error'? Amazing stretch you have made.
    If only you knew the details of my life. Oh well. If you are not stalking me or you have not secretly installed some spy cam, then how is it that you see what expression is on my face "plain as day"?

    Why? Because that is your fantasy? Your demands? Now are you going to provide those defining terms? Probably not considering that you also said that you don't care what my responses are. (follow the thread forward just a few postings past (moving forward in time) the link that I provided.)

    This really shouldn't be so hard for you. Are you a Christian? Yes or no?
