I don't quite see how changing the meaning of a word is a perversion, one meaning is as good as another as long as the meaning is self consistent and known to all, but never mind. The important thing is that we both agree that if we wish to communicate then it might be wise to assign meanings to words as they have been assigned or 1500 years. > trivially with you. > Trivially?!

I need to know what the hell they're saying before I can believe or disbelieve it, if I don't know the meaning of the words they're using then to me they're just making noises with their mouth, noises that are neither true nor untrue. >> With or without theology people had no trouble figuring out that there >> is a reality, so did snails. > > > >Impossible, or comp is false. > Fine, then comp is false. I never liked it anyway and still don't even know what that made up word of yours means, every time I think I know you say it means something that contradicts what you said it meant before and I'm back at square one. So good reddens to bad rubbish. And now that we both agree that whatever the hell it means comp is false there is no need to talk about it further. > > Here you betray that you really believe, in the pseudo-religious sense, > Wow, calling a guy known for disliking religion religious, never heard that one before, at least I never heard it before I was 12. > > You confirm my feeling that atheists might be only *naive* christians > which are deeply unaware of their faith > Wow, calling a guy known for disliking religion religious, never heard that one before, at least I never heard it before I was 12. >You really can't doubt that there might be any other notion of "God" than > yours > Many people, such as yourself, are willing to abandon the idea of God but not the word "God".
