Reply #103: No, I don't see it that way

[charlie]

"Absence of god" is the only way I know how to express not a belief, but a reaction to a positive assertion for which I don't see evidence --

"There is a god."

"Huh? Who? Where? I don't see this god thing."

You said it best --

"No god does not beget belief."

I never saw god, nor do I have a belief in "no god." My lack of conviction that there is a god, my... what would be a better word?... indifference to the concept of god is not a religion.

Suppose I posit:

-90898sn987sdjfohuisdhf

and I regale you with a whole cosmology about the qualities of -90898sn987sdjfohuisdhf and its relation to you. If you scratch your head and say "well, I don't get it, understand it, or see it" and then forget about it until the next time someone else comes to you with the same story, have you been inducted into the religion of anti-90898sn987sdjfohuisdhf?
