You said , "That's incredibly petty and childish." Isn't that a judgment? A rather severe one, it would seem! On what basis is it made? Why are you invested in such concepts as pettiness and childishness? What God ordained these? And if you have no God, what is pettiness and childishness to you?
What would you call it when someone reacts with outrage--and it's characterized as some major slam against believers --because a segment of Americans who have always been here and contributed to the greatness of of the country is merely mentioned? You don't think that's petty and childish?
On what basis is it made?
Adults getting angry at one word refering to someone other than themselves is pretty childish. (What is this aversion to judgments? Isn't that the liberal thing, they hate people judging?)
Why are you invested in such concepts as pettiness and childishness?
Why are you so invested in asking so many questions of me?
Merely mentioning those two words in one sentence means I am "invested" in them?
What God ordained these?
I don't believe there is a god, so...none. What does that have to do with this conversation>
And if you have no God, what is pettiness and childishness to you?
Well, that question is rather childish--one can't observe pettiness or childishness (wow, you're really upset about that one sentence) without believing in god? I'm proof they can.
Why aren't you discussing the topic instead of asking me questions that aren't pertinent after about the third rephrasing?
Why has my post upset you so much?
