Yes, it depends how you define god, and I think that a spirit being which lives above the clouds and sometimes gives commands to humans would fall within most atheists' definition of god. If there were an atheist-only area here and someone there said that there's a spirit being which lives above the clouds and sometimes tells her what to do, she's probably lose her access to the area, don'tcha think?

Quote:However, line one of the quote says: "According to Everett, the Pirahã have no concept of a supreme spirit or god". Fairly unambiguous and explicit, no?
Yes, unambiguous and contradictory. Seems his own deconversion is biasing his take on episodes he described which speak for themselves.
