Quote:To believe in God is likely to mean to worship God, and to worship God means to do his will, so it's all defined by the fruits a person carries that makes him believe in God or not.Ish, it's possible to believe in a god without worshiping a god.
Quote:Believing in God is not something you do in your head, like thinking for example. It's about being who you are.For you, maybe? You won't have to look far for a believer that rankles at the suggestion that their religious beliefs are anything -other- than a thoroughly intellectual enterprise. Same goes for atheists...but I feel you there. I find myself explaining to people that, ultimately, an atheist is just what I am. I had occassion to explain as much in this thread before you joined. I can see how the same could be true for a believer.
What does worshipping a god means when gods don't exist?
