>If you wish not to defend your opinion on arguments without your character, be my guest.
I was not aware I was under attack, so I felt no need to defend myself.
If you are attacking - let me know.
> How does the purpose of the argument assist the conversation with someone who does not wish to share arguments?
If you tell me what it is that you are trying to achieve by arguing it helps me help you get what you want.

If all you want to do is argue - then I am not interested.
>When Christianity left as the guiding belief structure, the modern 'self' has been left as a ground-up built belief that an internal describable entity exists. It remains elusive and it is possible to break people's internal representation of their 'self', their belief it exists or their belief in it's structure.

I take responsibility for expressing myself using my words. I take no responsibility for changing your mind - that responsibility is yours entirely.
If my words haven't changed your mind then I am not proselytizing.
So...Do you think am I proselytizing or not?

I think you're using the word poorly as a way to describe behaviour you don't like. >If that is true and the "self" does not exist, then why do you keep using this meaningless word "I" ? 'I' existed before the modern conception of self. >There may be a better way for you to get what you want. A way that doesn't require arguing. Argument In logic and philosophy, an argument is a series of statements, called the premises or premisses, intended to determine the degree of truth of another statement, the conclusion. I'm going to stop. This isn't going anywhere. The meat of your content is to just ask back at me what I'm giving you. I don't want to spend time on that marginal value anymore, 6-8 comments is enough.
