Do you actually not understand analogies? Goblinmonger Oct 2014 #20

Do you not understand what an analogy is? rug Oct 2014 #40

How is it not? Goblinmonger Oct 2014 #45

Here's an analogy for you. rug Oct 2014 #46

Thank you for that. Goblinmonger Oct 2014 #47

And a simile is not an analogy. rug Oct 2014 #48

Right. And you said "Here's an analogy for you" Goblinmonger Oct 2014 #49

What "cause" ? notrightatall Oct 2014 #53

The cause of decreasing discrimination against nonbelievers. cbayer Oct 2014 #61

How do you get off dismissing the veracity of his belief? notrightatall Oct 2014 #64

Because I've never seen a case of anyone actually believing this. cbayer Oct 2014 #67

Yup,every bit. notrightatall Oct 2014 #71

Under what rationale would you refuse last rites to a condemned prisoner on the night he is to die? rug Oct 2014 #74

I would not. notrightatall Oct 2014 #75

Then there is your exception. rug Oct 2014 #76

What is your stance on the 1st amendment as it addresses cbayer Oct 2014 #63
