18. Very interesting statement
"It is not an affirmative statement of what does exist, " Well put, a much more concise explanation.

I realize language is an insufficient method of explaining ethereal concepts, but there comes a time we must create definitions in order to maintain culture. As I said, the definitions were supplied to me by atheists here on DU.

But to be critical for a moment; I honestly don't know if you meant to equate faith = superstition with your post, or if you were exaggerating to make a point. If you do believe faith is superstition, you should understand correct or not, using the term superstition to describe the faith of others is demeaning.
