For Chas:
"Skepticism is not a position; it is an approach to claims.
Science is not a subject, but a method."
Belief is not a position; it is an approach to claims and rewards.
Belief is not an object, it is a subject and a method at the same time, or timeless if you want to (which can not objected then).
We often say 'in the name of God'. What are 'we' if we say something in the name of? Can that be done? If not, you are indeed atheist. If you think, it can be done, they will think your a theist. Me, myself and i do not like saying 'in the name of' but however i prefer 'we' instead of 'i' when talking about... us (me, myself and i+). Can you as atheist, understand a theist and do you think i can understand you, presumed atheist, as a theist? Does this "make sense?" to you or is it as well "nonsense"?
If you do not understand, i will try it another way (inch'Allah... sorry the last was cartoonic sarcasm in me with what happened in Paris some two) weeks ago)
