uh... now i'm confused...

In Response To: Re: I hate that term. (Dylan)

*note: at the time I first read this I thought it was a response to my post because no one ever updates their subject lines. Seriously people... this forum's format confuses me enough as it is...

Anyway, I had a whole response typed up and figured it wouldn't hurt to post it.*

: I'll start screaming in horror now. I'm afaid you're laboring under a
: misconception. Men (In the proper, grammatical sense. Before, when you
: used that term it could mean what we now mean by using the term people.
: It's much less awkward than saying "he or she".)

I think what you just said was that the term "men" is ambiguous...

Sorry, old habits and grammatical quirks die hard. I meant "men" as male adults, and I think you figured it out. What I'm confused by is how you were suggesting I use the term "men"...

It's a little frustrating when someone goes and switches the correct terms on you part with through school. Men, he/she, people, their, mankind, humankind... I get rather lost in it all.

: Anyway men are
: religious if they have a belief about God not just if they believe in God.

Ah, this is actually a well-worn debate. I agree with you 100%, but there are many people [is that what I'm supposed to do?] who disagree and state that religious beliefs are only religious if they are beliefs in gods. Unfortunately it seems that dictionaries aren't a help as the dictionary I used once sided with the "in" theory.

I find that totally bogus, however, and rather chose to ignore the dictionary.

(trivia, for some reason the people who were opposed to the idea that religious beliefs are beliefs about gods were all atheists. I'm hoping it was just a coincidence)

: Imagine; a nihilist like Hitler reasons that there is no God and that he
: can therefore make his own ethics. Now, a Christian believes in God and
: knows he must do what God commands. Do you see how everyone acts on his
: religious view and that you must then impose them, by your actions, to at
: least some extent?

I see how everyone, in a sense, acts on their religious beliefs. I didn't quite follow what you meant by imposing them. What is being imposed and what is it being imposed upon? My guess is you mean that religious beliefs are being imposed on other people's beliefs.

Also, as a side note, is that statement accurate of Hitler?

: If liberals are correct about unborn children not being people ( Yes, I know
: I just did what I criticize others for doing but I think that
: "men" in the sense I discussed means adult.) then they are not
: imposing their view on anyone. If I am correct, ( I like to think that I
: am) abortion is imposing your view on defenseless babies.

Ah, okay, so I think I see what you're saying. Of course, now I've forgotten what I said...

*Yeah, this is where I realized I'm not the one being spoken to. :P *

: By the way, the
: bombing of abortion clinics is unbiblical because government is supposed
: to be the agent of justice, not individuals, which is why christians
: always detested dueling. (You know; pistols at 10 paces.)

I'm sure that if someone is planning on bombing an abortion clinic there is more wrong with them than their interpretation of the Bible.
