No confusion, you claimed it yourself. I'm sure you will figure out a way to backtrack, but the truth is, you said it.
I do not. What would be the point? To what entity would I pray?
That was my point. You are confused.
No God, no right, no wrong, just actions and consequences.
And poor dumb people like your relatives, sitting around a table to eat a meal to celebrate the birth of the savior who you deny exists, and watching them pray to the thin air in several languages while you volunteer to do the same.
Ahh Christmas,, that celebration of nothing by the weak minded and scoffed at by the "enlightened" non believer, while being throughly enjoyed as a delightful spectacle of the chimp relatives.
Great stuff.
Your namesake would be appalled at the poor level of sophistry you exhibit.
I know what you referencing. I said that I could offer grace in several languages, and have done so. Many folks pray without belief in any deities. Table graces are nothing more than expressions of gratitude for food. If I offer one, I have no particular entity in mind, but am, yet, grateful for the abundance at my table.
Others believe in various things. Each person is his or her own philospher. You may recognize that concept, given your choice of freepname.
While you may agree with your namesake that you are able to argue the weak side as well as the strong side, you would be incorrect. Protagoras may well have been able to do that. You are not Protagoras.
Perhaps, in Aristotelean terms, you are a shadow image of Protagoras, but not the actual Protagoras.
Sophistry is the mocking term used for those who attempt to emulate Protagoras. Few succeed. You are one of those who do not.
Unlike others on this thread, you are arguing for argument's sake. That's sad. Find a position, oh shadow of Protagoras, and argue from that position. Sophistry does not become you.
