::3) I am starting to think that "could reply to this" in the article could be better expressed as "might reply...", but that is a minor point. --[[User:BronzeDome|BronzeDome]] 05:09, 16 July 2011 (CDT) | ::3) I am starting to think that "could reply to this" in the article could be better expressed as "might reply...", but that is a minor point. --[[User:BronzeDome|BronzeDome]] 05:09, 16 July 2011 (CDT) | ||
::4) Actually, I disagree that I am making up my own definition here. see eg [http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/stubborn]. I have never debated any apologists, and have never heard the accusation of "stubbornness" myself, but I suspect that rationality as a concept, an idea, or however I shall put it, is as foreign (read unknown) to them as is rationality non-existent as a working condition of their minds. If they accuse you of stubbornness, they are in fact calling you obstinate. Uh-oh, according to Wiktionary, obstinate also can involve "unreasonableness", but with the conditional word "usually" prepended. How about I put it this way: Someone's accusing me of being "irrational" doesn't mean they have the foggiest notion of what "irrational" means... (Any atheist is <b>by definition</b> irrational, not by any understanding on the part of the accuser of the underlying questions.) And I'll put it another way: I think I myself didn't know of the "irrational" take on the word "stubborn" until you mentioned it. --05:58, 16 July 2011 (CDT) | ::4) Actually, I disagree that I am making up my own definition here. see eg [http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/stubborn].
