    That's not a truce.
    Truce means neither side slams the other. There is no if, and, or but.

    Yay! Mrs. J "gets it"!!

    As a believer, I find it difficult if not impossible for nonbelievers to be capable of respecting a truce or having civil discussions because they dont have any values. The believe their very existance happened by chance so they dont even respect themselves.

    Cofty:

    It comes back to the point of making a distinction between the believer and the things they believe.

    As a non-believer I don't define myself by my lack of belief but for many people of faith their whole identity is tied up with their beliefs so when you ask questions about that they feel personally attacked
    .

    That's the difference I see, too.

    **sigh**

    Yes....."atheists have no values" and "no respect for themselves".

    Thank you for your input. I guess the truce is over.

    Please explain why you think I have no values.

    My initial assumption is that you are ignorant and arrogant but maybe I'm misunderstanding you?

    Pretty sure Miz is being... mmm... a (good-natured) smartass? (love ya, Miz, you know I do )

    I think the board has been sort of truce-like the past week or so. I'm sure i'm not the only one who is glad of it.

    Peace,

    I think the truce should be between Theists and Non-Believers....better dividing line.

    Miz/TS is pulling your leg. Or am I just stating the obvious?
