Dogma

Did you read what I wrote?

Of course I did. But now you are being furtive and dodging for some reason and that always piques my curiosity.

So I’ll ask you again; was your comment (referenced above) about people not being questioned, just a rhetorical point or did you have a specific in mind?

You and dive are such treasures to talk to on a discussion board.

Both of us are direct, specific and laser focused.

Feel free to keep dodging questions.
We’re only on page two!

I was interested in the word, its meaning and use, and what others thought was purely rhetorical. Sometimes those types of questions generate interesting discussions.

Bump for dive

Ok I apologise if I’ve missed something.

However could you kindly confirm unequivocally…

Unequivocally, repeatedly, unabashedly, rhetorical, are you satisfied?

Thanks for the observation.

I am to please! 🙂

Only took 8 times of asking.

If we cannot be questioned on any topic, we have our heads up a body part that should be anatomically impossible to do. Every truth presented should be able to stand up to all the scrutiny thrown at it. This word gets thrown around here as if the one using it is insulting the one they are talking to in a discussion. If it is a discussion, why is the word dogma being used? If ...[text shortened]... cannot have a truth that we believe in, then why question anything, nothing will ever come from it?

Now you’ve finally admitted that this post by you is rhetorical, I’m not sure how to reply.

So are you referring to religious dogma? Christian, religious dogma?

Don't reply; reply; I'm not going to needle you if you express your opinion on clarification.

You just seem prickly and evasive to me.

What is it you are trying to get at with this thread?
It seems like you have a specific point to make but are either too dishonest to make it or lack the ability to make it with any coherence.

I cannot help what 'seems' like to you.

I’m quite capable of recognising when your feathers are all ruffled and you get prickly. How odd that you think I’m asking for your help.

I'm sure you are more than capable of so much in your mind that we would all be amazed.

I’m capable in my mind of deciding what’s morally right, what’s logically comprehensible, and by ignoring “dogma” I’m able to determine what is scripturally sound and what isn’t.

You are your yardstick with which you measure and judge everything. Your problem is, the judge is standing at the door, and we all answer to Him, not you.
