And all the people who say they have evidence won't show their work. What's up with that?

I don't know if I should believe the Chad32 who wrote this or the Chad29 in his avatar pic.

You believe in chad29, therefore you believe in Chad32.

You believe in the God of your parents, therefore you believe in the God of the Bible.

You believe in my genitalia, therefore you believe in a 16 inch penis.

I was making a point. Most verbs apply to real objects, but "believing in" only applies to ideas, thus sense and reference doesn't come into it.

If your idea of God is different, you believe in a different god.

You have been told repeatedly by many atheists that atheism is the lack of belief. You just can't wrap your head around that?

I totally understand your frustration chas.

I made the statement in another thread that atheists here make sure everyone understands that atheism is a lack of belief, and they called me a liar and demanded I make a poll.

You made a dishonest poll by not including that choice.
Skepticism is not a position; it is an approach to claims.
Science is not a subject, but a method.

Yes. That would have been my choice if available -- it wasn't so I had to pick "other" in the poll.

The God character died when the last Babylonian Emperor died over 2,500 years ago. That's why no one has heard or seen God since then.
