A Belief Question

[DanaC]

Flint, I never suggested that worship was connected in any way with communication. My point was about more than your use of the word 'worship'. It's also about your use of the word 'God'. yes, God may mean gravity and the laws of physics and evolution; God might be a helium gas. But common understanding suggests that the word God, is primarily used to denote a powerful and conscious force, often with the aspect of creator.

Using the word 'atheist', is a shortcut to say I do not believe in God or any Gods. That doesn't mean I don't believe in evolution or the laws of physics, but conversation would become very cumbersome if I had to explain the terms of reference for every word I used that was in common usage.
