RootsBooster Posted October 3, 2012 Share Posted October 3, 2012 So your answer to the question -- Do you believe in god is NO, not lack of a belief then? Not believing in God and lack/absence of belief are the same thing. A belief that God doesn't exist is not the same thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drone Posted October 3, 2012 Share Posted October 3, 2012 Not believing in God and lack/absence of belief are the same thing. A belief that God doesn't exist is not the same thing. So why can't you just dismiss the idea of god if you don't believe in him? I don't believe in santa and I could say i know he doesn't exist, well the santa that flys around the sky I think it's the idea of what God is that stumbles your Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dosxuk Posted October 3, 2012 Share Posted October 3, 2012 So why can't you just dismiss the idea of god if you don't believe in him? Because many people do not like claiming something they have no proof of. I think it's the idea of what God is that stumbles your No, the same thing can be said about many things - like the Loch Ness monster, the existence of aliens or the presense of water on Mars. It's a perfectly valid point of view to state that you don't believe any of those things exist (including God), but that you're open to any evidence to the contrary.

Right so would that state that your open to god being true?.. That shows you have some belief Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
