I said: "atheists explain events of > divinity with material explanations." How does this say that I'm calling > him an atheist? To explain a material event with a material explanation > is not being an atheist. To explain a divine event with a material > explanation is being an atheist (atleast for that event). I am sorry to be nitpicking like this, but I find it pretty tasteless to start talking about what atheists do at the same time as you disagree with someone, whether you think that the person is an atheist or not. It looks like you are indicating that the person who you are arguing with is an atheist. If you cannot defeat someone in argument, of course you have to start attacking the character of your opponent? (Not directly, of course, but through indications! Even more tasteless, in my opinion.) Sorry if I get off the track here. Ys Jkd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
