God.....again.

Interestingly I read in a recent New Scientist article that
some of the supposed universal constants are changing ...

As an atheist I only tend to talk about god if I encounter
some-one who believes and has an axe to grind.[Added by edit for no particular reason:-
I remember a day when I encountered a Mormon missionary in
a town centre, and stood talking to him for about an hour
and half ... until the point where he said to me 'Well, I've
got to be going now, nice speaking to you.' and backed
away in a great hurry. I thought it was funny ... local
Jehovah's tend to avoid my house now too [This message has been edited by Peter, 07-21-2003]

I think there's a difference between acknowledging that
you might be wrong, and not being sure one way or the
other.'As far as I can tell that's a red ball'being different to'I'm not sure if that is a red ball or a blue dodecahedron.'

I see what you mean.To me atheism is a position statement, as is agnosticism, or
theism.I would class you as agnostic, in the sense that you do not
come down one way or another, while crashfrog (like myself)
is an atheist -- there is no God as far as I am concerned
but hey if you can show me I'm wrong that's fine. Admitting
that you might be wrong is not the same as not having made
the belief-choice (and atheism etc. are just beleifs after-all
... it's just that mpost atheists have their reasons for
beleiving that way ... more so than 'I was brought up in
[insert religion of choice].'Theists tend to be of the 'There IS a god, show me I'm wrong
and I'll redefine everything so that there is still a God.'
