Clearly you misinterpret what I wrote, reading your defensive lines.IMO, YO is not valid.
I am perfectly capable of expressing myself accurately. I am able to write the sentence, "I do not believe in the existence of gods," and I am also able to write the sentence, "I believe that no gods exist." Whether you like it or not, these sentences express different ideas, and I hold to the first one, so the second does NOT define my atheism.
Now, the question for you is, are capable of reading as accurately as I am capable of writing? If not, what has scrambled that ability for you? Your own predispositions?
To make it abundantly clear:
When I write IMHO (even begin+end). What that means is, that this is how I define it for myself. For the days that I identify myself as an Atheist. I don't need, want, hope others to use my definition of Atheism.
1) IMO, YO is not valid.
* Thank you for your opinion
* FYI: I consider your opinion valid
2) I am perfectly capable of expressing myself accurately
* I know: I never said nor implied different
3) I am able to write the sentence, "I do not believe in the existence of gods," and I am also able to write the sentence, "I believe that no gods exist."
* I know, never doubted that, nor implied it
4) Whether you like it or not, these sentences express different ideas, and I hold to the first one, so the second does NOT define my atheism.
* Great, I love it when I can allow others to use different definitions than I use. Means I can also use my own
5) Now, the question for you is, are capable of reading as accurately as I am capable of writing? If not, what has scrambled that ability for you? Your own predispositions?
* I guess you forgot "you" in between "are" and "capable"? Correct?
