“You would be hardpressed to find wher I CLAIMED there was only one.”
No, I wouldn’t be hard pressed at all. You wrote:
“The comment was:
“According to Francis, Catholics and Muslims worship the same God.”
You posted ONE out of THREE sentences and called it THE comment.
“The other two statements were metaphorical taken from the sentence quoted.”
Metaphorical: Definition of metaphor. 1 : a figure of speech in which a word or phrase literally denoting one kind of object or idea is used in place of another to suggest a likeness or analogy between them (as in drowning in money); broadly : figurative language — compare simile.
The following is NOT therefore a metaphor:
“So next time just walk into a mosque instead of a church. Francis says it’s all the same, so Catholics should obey their pope.”
Time is money. - that’s a metaphor. See the difference?
"This is my body...
Humpty placemarker
Metaphor fits just fine, glad you see what I was getting at.
LOL at you still going with your falsely accusing me of stating that there was just one comment.
Even with the proof I c/p'ed for you you still just HAVE to be right. But, alas I did not state that there was just one comment. Quite the contrary.
Using poetic, or should I say artistic license, I used one comment to set up the metaphor and the other two were givens which were easy to see in the post they were originally posted in.
Sometimes it's best to let your fans use their own minds to put things together.
The semantical gymnastics you had to go through to expose how wrong you are is dazzling to see.
At least we have firmly established that Catholics worship the same "God" as Islam. Need the proof again? Just scroll up.
“LOL at you still going with your falsely accusing me of stating that there was just one comment.”
You wrote your own error. No one did it for you.
“Using poetic, or should I say artistic license,”
What ever you want to call your error doesn’t change the fact that you made an error.
“I used one comment to set up the metaphor”
Except there was no metaphor.
“... and the other two were givens which were easy to see in the post they were originally posted in.”
Except you said THE comment. You made your errors. No one else did.
“The semantical gymnastics you had to go through to expose how wrong you are is dazzling to see.”
Except I used no “semantical gymnastics”. I simply used your own words. You said what you said.
” you had to go through to expose how wrong you are is dazzling to see.”
Except that I was not wrong. You were, however, and in your own words.
That’s just beautiful!
True to form, you are the Archetype of a conundrum wrapped in an enigma.
My metaphor was classic, look what it produced!
LOL!
Take a remedial course in English, middle school level.
Study mostly the many uses of the word “the”
“My metaphor was classic, look what it produced!”
There was no metaphor here: “So next time just walk into a mosque instead of a church. Francis says it’s all the same, so Catholics should obey their pope.”

“Unless ye drink my blood...
I left one of those crazy little HTML thingies in as you seem to like them.According to Francis, Catholics and Muslims worship the same God.
So next time just walk into a mosque instead of a church.
Francis says it’s all the same, so Catholics should obey their pope.
If I took it out the word would be "it's"
“Here’s a parable for you to ponder”
It’s no more of a parable than it was a metaphor. Why not just call it a kitchen sink? Or a McGuffin? Maybe call it a widget? Yeah, sure why not since you’re just callings things that which they could never actually be, right?
