Richard Dawkins Faith In Memes Is As Blind As A Christian's to God
#7
RE: Richard Dawkins Faith In Memes Is As Blind As A Christian's to God
He's talking about the concept of God. Like the concept of the Easter Bunny, the concept of God, obviously exists.

(In fact I now feel I would change my response to an earlier thread that asked "Do you believe in Evil?"... because, I put "Yes" because as I stated, I believe in the concept of evil, I believe in subjective evil. But I believe in the concept of God too - and yet I wouldn't say I believe in God because I reserve that for belief in the existence of God itself. So since belief in the concept of God doesn't equate to belief in God, the Easter Bunny, or anything else for that matter (besides the concept) - then I'm not going to equate belief in the concept of evil to belief in evil either. So I'd rather now just state that I don't believe in evil).
