In reply to the discussion: The Problem with Religious Moderates [View all]trotsky
(49,533 posts)I cannot see this discussion going anywhere. You're also constantly shifting goalposts and muddling the issues to such an extent that no dialog is possible. Which, given the consistency in that behavior, is something I can only assume you intended to accomplish all along.
You agree with what the president said, so you agree with me. A religious reason for a policy isn't a valid reason. The rest of what you've said is a confusing mixture of equivocation, personal attacks, straw men, and red herrings. I suspect your personal prejudices against atheists and/or atheism are what's driving that behavior.
Returning to the main topic of this thread, when religious moderates enable religious belief as "another way of knowing," they are (unwittingly) empowering religion to be a valid reason for a policy - which you have now agreed is wrong. Took a while to get here, but you ended up being in agreement with me anyway.
You may have the last word now, and I'll let you use all the straw men and red herrings you want. Take care!
