What's the difference between God and Bill Gates?

"I hope you aren't referring to me, I haven't thrust any of my beliefs upon anyone. Show me one time where I have."

Quote from earlier in the thread:

"I suggest you keep your religion between you, your god, your children, and your church.

Keep it out of my face."

among others.

In other words: 'Sit down and shut up. Your freedom of speech doesn't come up to the level of mine. I can say what I want but you can't say anything to the opposite. Besides, I was joking.'

By being so forceful on this point you thrust YOUR non-belief in MY face. This, sir, is the very essence of hypocracy.

Also; a joke can cut as deep as a knife. Ask the minority group of your choice.

You could have just as easily let my reading reference pass, but you had to make some kind of anti-theological issue out of it. The shame is that the reading reference is a pretty good one, even for agnostics & atheists. I know several who have enjoyed it.

The quote from Maimonides is one that rolls easily off my fingers since he is one of the fathers of medicine, right up there with Hippocrates, and that was my field of study.

Ahem, where does this force any of my beliefs upon you? I just simply stated I don't wish to discuss religion, that's all. In a rather forceful way, because I took the tone of you suggesting me to read something which I have already read a bit condescending.
How that is thrusting beliefs, I don't know. Maybe you being a doctor know something I don't.

among others.

No, in other words, I don't give a rat's ass what you believe about God or otherwise dealing with faith, and I would certainly hope you don't give a shit either.

By being so forceful on this point you thrust YOUR non-belief in MY face. This, sir, is the very essence of hypocracy.

The only thing I was forceful about was telling you shove your preaching somewhere else, keep it away from me. I don't care what you believe, it's your business.
That is not hypocrisy.

As far as my 'non-belief', you know no such thing about my faith. I will tell you I am not a non-believer. So you can also kindly stick your assumptions the same place where you should place your preaching.

Also; a joke can cut as deep as a knife. Ask the minority group of your choice.

Oh, sorry, next time I will try to be more PC like you seem to prefer.

You could have just as easily let my reading reference pass,

Yes, I could have. And you could have just let a joke be a joke instead of trying to school me. Sorry, Mordrid, but I don't need to be schooled in theology. Thanks for asking though.

but you had to make some kind of anti-theological issue out of it.

Nope. You made it into that. By assuming my joke was anti-theological, you made the ass--u-me mistake. I have made no anti-theological issues and don't wish to debate it, I know from experience you aren't going to change people's minds on their faith, and it's not my purpose in life to go and save people's souls.

The shame is that the reading reference is a pretty good one, even for agnostics & atheists. I know several who have enjoyed it.

I agree with you, they are good reading and there are many more that I enjoyed and I am sure you have read them too, if you take an interest in the subject.
