In reply to the discussion: Atheists continue battle against World Trade Center cross at memorial [View all]Goblinmonger
(22,340 posts)57. I'm sure this is going to be far too nuanced for you, but here it goes
You said "their only fight" is to exclude Christians. That indicates a MUCH DIFFERENT mind set than saying that inclusion is a lie (still disagree with that position greatly). Additionally, you did not denounce the bullshit position of the ACLJ as was done in the post above.
Those two things make it pretty clear that you are coming at this from a position of privilege whereas the other isn't. Add to that the posting history of the two of you and it is crystal clear.
And for the 4 years I competed in and the 15 years I coached college debate, one of my specialties was definitional arguments, so, come at me, bro, I'd love to discuss definitions with you.
