you see, to me -- an atheist -- "G-O-D" is a letter string that is only meaningfully defined by other people. It has no inherent value or meaning to me, so I really don't understand what you mean with your definition without further clarification.

I defined it with further clarification, along with reasoning to show why your non-belief in God is actually affirmative belief that God may not (or does not?) exist. See post 565.

Yes, I saw it. Ultimately you're trying to argue that it is "faith" to withhold belief in something in abscence of evidence. I also have seen no evidence that invisible dragons live on the surface of Mars -- do I have "faith" that they don't exist, since I certainly lack belief in them?
