Hi, Rick.
There's is no point in my correcting Ian again, since his response has become mere repetition.
Agnostics are not atheists for all practical purposes, and agnosticism is not a debating stance--at least not to this agnostic.
To Ian, it's a matter of "us and everybody else," and for his purposes there is no point (or rhetorical profit) in making any further distinctions. To a bird, foxes and cats may seem one and the same for all practical purposes, since neither flies and both eat birds--but they are not, in fact, the same.
Here is my most recent response to Ian's insistence that
cats are actually foxes.
As to the topic (remember that?), my doctor would say, "Oi vey! So... what'd He say?"
God gave us the earth. We have dominion over the plants, the animals, the trees. God said, ”Earth is yours. Take it. Rape it. It’s yours.’
