" What I am saying is that proclaiming to be a christian, but w/out the christian attitude, then justifying the behavior with "well we all have imperfections" is a cop out. And it quickly leads to the argument that you can do as you wish as long as you>>>
The question I have for you Jedd: What do you base your idealogy of atheism on, whose writtings?whose ideas?, are they left over from your imbedded teachings from youth that you made mention of? What is the absolute that you use to come to this idealogy?>>>
Perhaps it had a read as if it had an edge. In my mind it was as if I were having a regular conversation .If you knew me better you might not have interpeted it that way . Another case of no intonation or body language . I even found my self snickering>>>

Hi Ciak,
Okay, you thought Dennis was calling you an addict. I looked at it as he was asking a question. He just stated where he is standing by explaining the view he has of life.
