I'm beginning to think Locke would rather attack the position no one here wants to defend. Oh well, I'm still an atheist in regard to the belief question whether he chooses to believe it or not. Seems kind of young to me. Think I'll leave him to marinate on it a while. Go get that windmill, Locke! No one who professes to know what the hell a god is and refuses to believe in them anyway can stand before your logic.
Hmmm .. wonder if I need to really think about whether I'm just confirming what I believe, attacking poor Locke's position or really, really, really out to know the truth? I'd like to think I was after the truth but the truth about gods isn't the sort of truth that tempts me. I prefer to understand things I actually experience or ponder things which are at least properly defined. Gods don't qualify.
