Re: Don't knows, don't cares
Like Mammuthus, I agree with Mark. I think there are three different positions involved -
I don't know whether there is a God
I do not believe in God
There is no God.
​
I adopt the second position - an absense of belief. And I call myself an Atheist, but some may quibble about this.
​
The first and third statements both imply that there is some way of telling whether God exists or not, and as I have not yet heard of one, both statements are meaningless to me.
​
Mike.
