You don’t need to pester about it. You’re doing this logic trick to show how epistemic difference between spirituality and materialism have ontological similarity. You are correct BTW, to point out the similarities between money and god, church and capital.
But in demanding “logical consistency” you’ve turned a teaching exercise into a debate. The standard that you set that the person be “logically consistent” is part of the ontology that lumps yours and rarWars comments together. By adopting the post - enlightenment ideal of rational, logical consistency as a means to invalidate your opponent’s position, you are performing an act of hegemony.
Contradiction also has consistent logic to it. The way contradiction appears within the individual subject is mysterious, but it drives a lot of activity, both constructive and destructive.
I think you have a good criticism of rational atheism, but the content of these comments aren’t practical or pedagogical, which I believe harms your argument. I think your perspective is pretty good but you got lost in the bit
I agree with your logic and points of emphasis. I can’t make any more presumptions based on these few paragraphs.
I think there are times in a discussion where it can veer into many different directions. I’m very practical minded when it comes to criticism and analysis. It is a good discussion. Sorry if I came off lecturey I think I just felt like writing something lol
