You in fact said precisely that, you can tell because I copied and pasted it directly from what you said.

But again, this is the pattern throughout the thread. Obfuscation appears to be your desired outcome.

don't let your fantasies about God cause you to do harmful things

Sigh .....

Now, I know you're taking the piss. Goodbye.

I can't imagine why you would say that. I was simply pointing out that the two phrases do not mean the same thing. You misrepresented what I said and I corrected that misrepresentation. No urine involved.

Hair-splitting nonsense - there's no functional difference at all: quite the contrary for your claim to have any meaning, my wording must necessarily be true. For a proscription against allowing fantasies about god to cause people to do harmful things, it necessitates that fantasies about God can cause you to do harmful things. Your claim genetically requires my wording of it to be true, even if you're unable to see it, or just engaging in willful obfuscation as it appears you have done throughout this entire thread. Not only does it not misrepresent you, it is inherent to what you claimed. Of course, had you really meant it, then you wouldn't have challenged what I said, and we would have actually been able to pin something down. But fortunately, you moved the topic now onto semantics instead, so we can all look the other way while you pocket the rabbit.
