My reference was to your belief in an afterlife...I thought that wa clear...obviously not.

So, making an attack on someone's beliefs...real classy.

That you would see an attack where none exists is quit instructive.

Pointing out that someone's belief is an assumption with no evidence is an attack on that belief.

How about an attack on where you're taking this thread? .... Flzzum Flazzum land

Anything _on_ topic you want to say?

I am getting tired all these discussions where people run out of shit to see and then latch onto another posters syntax and and start taking that apart.
And LOOK ya got me doing it now

I see it as more of an observation than an attack. So far as I know, there is no evidence for life after death. That's why it's a matter of faith. Interestingly enough, St. Paul touched on this very fact in today's epistle (from Romans): "8:24 For in hope we were saved. Now hope that is seen is not hope. For who hopes for what is seen? 8:25 But if we hope for what we do not see, we wait for it with patience."

No, you are absolutely right. You're the one who made the whole thing superfluous. I stand corrected.

Nah, the tangent was already superfluous before I added my input.

He used the same wording he's used elsewhere when rebutting an argument though, which is why his statement is more consistent with an attack.

Sounds like denial... look on the brightside, we're not discussing a heroin habit or anything worrisome like that

Maybe there's a collar-non group in your town.

The attack on someone's belief was superfluous, therefore it was already superfluous before my input, therefore any denial is entirely from your imagination. ;)
