I didn't miss any point. I have been lucid and direct, and did not
bring up any irrelevancies. If you are incapable of comprehending a
simple question as well as the *fact* that different motivations
produce different rationales for superficially similar results, that
is
your problem, not mine.
Don't blame me for your inability to understand a clear, direct
question, and don't try to hide your unwillingness to answer it.
Your arguement was I believe that since atheists are by definitiion
critical
of the jewish religion they are anti-semitic.
That most certainly was *not* my argument. I was using, in one
tangential exchange with WTG, a reductio ad absurdum to demonstrate
that it's possible, if one wishes to, to accuse virtually *anyone* of
being anti-semitic on *some* grounds or other.
On another, completely unrelated topic, you had asked:
"Do you think that criticisms leveled at Jews are more or lessl likely
to reflect prejudice than those leveled against christians."
I had asked what the source of the criticism was, because to me it is
abundantly clear that we can a priori assume a Klansman would have a
completely different intention than (for instance) an atheist. For some
reason you seem to think my question is irrelevant, or unworthy of
serious consideration or response. I believe to the contrary; I believe
the source of criticism is anything *except* irrelevant.
