He was dishonestly portraying my comments as a response to his book. They weren't. I was addressing what James said.
That last sentence doesn't make sense if you understand what posttheism is. No-one claims it invented anything.

You're confused abt whether posttheism is good or worthless, whether its new or in existence. Please read the book.
-
I think your hostility will go if you do coz you've much more common ground than you think.
-
Helen, I have read much on the subject now and spoken to James, who is not the only author. It offers nothing new or unique.
-
And this contradicts what James said about many atheists already being posttheists how? You're arguing against claims not made.
-
What? Helen, in never said that.
-
Well, if James says the approach already exists but advocates more of us take it, why do you keep saying its not new?
-
He's saying that's what post-theism is. He's simply taking his favorite tactics already in use and calling those a new name.
-
Pretty much, yes, because those are the positive tactics of a mindset which refuses to take religion on its own terms.

Nor did I Helen. I only stated that post-theism is worthless. It recommending nothing new doesn't change that.
-
And that you agree with it & do it.
