Anger towards God

@fmf said
What you are taking up with me needs to be taken up with sonship because I obviously don't think atheists are "burning with anger" at sonship's God ~ it's sonship who thinks that. You seem to be too much of a coward to tackle him on it.

If you don't want to take it up with me I don't blame you.

If you don't want to take it up with sonship I don't blame you.

But suggesting I'm a coward, well, that's just inflammatory silliness.

It's just par for the course debate and discussion stuff on a debate and discussion forum.

Then what are you whining about?

Then take it up with the one that made the assertion.

But it seems you've "taken it up" with the whole community by starting a thread about it, and then when I respond to your OP you back away from the discussion, seemingly as a coward, compounded by your accusation that I am a coward for not taking it up with sonship.

That's just a silly position you've assumed because, frankly, it is my prerogative who I "take it up" with.

@fmf said
What is the purpose of this prattle?

Who knows. Maybe we're resolving issues.

@fmf said
You don't seem to have the courage to express your disagreement with sonship directly to him. You instead use me as a proxy.

Not at all. That's just your unsubstantiated perspective.

The ridiculous assertion that atheists have a "burning anger" towards God is sonship's position and not mine.

It is surely you who has been whining. Your first words to me in reply to me pushing back at the ridiculous projection of anger onto non-believers was this: "Clearly that's an insult directed at believers in Jesus Christ, no?". If that isn't feeble whining, nothing is

Whoosh!! Double whoosh!!

I’m parodying SecondSon venting his hate at me Suzianne, but you are so blinkered you cant see it.

Yeah, keep telling yourself that.

But it was obvious!

If you objectively read what SecondSon said to me and then read my reply which was a pair of quotes about Ahab from Moby Dick...anyone would realise that I am parodying his rant at me with Ahab emotions against the whale...surely you see this?

Perhaps I overestimate you, perhaps you simply lack the intelligence to pick up on these conversational nuances.

Aww come on, you know it makes sense.
Two strong opposing characters locked in emotional grapple.
I’m reminded of Batman and Catwoman.

Ghost of a Duke can watch with a hobnob.

Hmmmm.

No comment.

Getting a dig in is the heart of parody.

It's often too much like looking into a mirror, though.

SecondSon conceded that he doesn't have the smarts to teach his religion to people. He talked about driving members of the congregation around and something about chasing off allegedly wrongheaded people claiming to be followers of Jesus.

It's all true. It's right there in the file you two have compiled on him, I'm sure.

I’m sure you feel that way.
Many of us still remember you and your behaviour in the time of the Jalapeño Donkeys.

We don’t have a file on SecondSon as there isn’t enough material.

There is no "file". I just have a sharp memory.
