huge difference in these two ideas.
anyone want to discuss?
No, i think it id obvious that the two ideas exists along the same continuum. And each camp really embraces nuances that allow them to overlap considerably, and their adjacent peripheries to grade from one into the other smoothly, almost imperceptibly.
Take for example, an agonistic position of "I have no basis for taking any position at all on whether any god exists" grades smoothly into "I have basis for favoring the nonexistence of all specific gods I've examined, but not enough to categorically deny existence of all gods", which in turn grades smoothly into "I have basis for favoring the catagoric invalidity of the concept of god I've examined, but not to an degree where I would categorically deny the validity of all possible variation this concept", which in turn grades into god by any definition does not exist.
