Re: Responsibility of Honesty
"Hard core" athiests are strongly in denial of God
​
Wrong. I can not deny something that does not exist. It is not a denial. It is an acknowledgment that the belief in a god means that reality would have to be different than it is. A belief in a god means the acceptance that magic must be an integral part of of existence.

Re: Responsibility of Honesty
My problem is with the word denial.
​
Denial is a loaded word. It implies not accepting something that is true.. That may not have been your implication. For some of us it is not just
Denial refusal to believe a doctrine, theory, or the like.
disbelief in the existence or reality of a thing.
​
Instead it is an acknowledgment that such beliefs conflict with all reality. To accept such beliefs would also mean acceptance of everything and anything supernatural or paranormal. There is a reason that books that deal with magic and the supernatural are classifeid as Fantasy. That is where the bible belongs also.
