| 59. Why put quotes around something when it's not a quote? |
|
At least you were not quoting me, yet follow my post with quotation marks. Curious.
Do you understand how wrong that is?
Unbelievable? Quaint irony.
Do you think no one should claim Dawkins is an author? Oh, you mean no author should claim Dawkins -- literally taken. What would they claim him for anyway, it's not like he's dry cleaning...
Funny, how I can use a number (600) and use the word some, yet be accused of meaning all. Perhaps I was too close to the real number! Sorry. I just meant a made-up number, not what would be the real thing to you.
Do you really think there are 600 atheists. I would put the number higher than that, but you're entitled to your opinion.
I suppose, you putting words, like all, into other people's mouths, such as my own mouth, is okay to you, just not for deists in particular to do it to atheists. Have I got that right?
Either that or your funny.
