How does one "wiggle out" of something one has never said? Here we see Bosco trying to re-define a debate that has been going on for weeks, without apparently understanding a word we have said. > Bosco writes: > > I'll give you your correction, that you and Mario > are "inherently supporting the view that TRUE > followers of specific religions, are MORE LIKELY TO > BE morally superior to Atheists and Agnostics." > Mario observes: > No, I am not supporting this view at all.

In a nutshell that I'd like to see you wiggle out of, though I know you'll try. > Bosco writes: > > And I'll say - FALSE. You are wrong to take that > ARROGANT stand.

You create an ARROGANT stand where there is none, then label it FALSE. > You seem caught in a steel trap of pre-conceived notions about this thread, read carefully and slowly my points a) through e) above and let me know what you find that is either ARROGANT or FALSE about what I have said. > _______________________________________________ Goanet mailing list Goanet@lists.goanet.org http://lists.goanet.org/listinfo.cgi/goanet-goanet.org
