I added an edit regarding language to my earlier post, I don't know if you saw it... Just read it. Language is interesting. I know you don't mean to be tendentious or too imply anything at all, but in your natural way of expression your thoughts, you use the phrase "acknowledge the existence of" instead of "believe in." And of course anyone who doesn't "acknowledge the existence" of something is denying the existence of something that actually does exist, whereas "believe in" leaves the existence-status as a matter of belief, not as a fact unacknowledged. Just a note about language.... Since the word 'tendentious' means to have a deliberate bias toward....I would have to admit that my expression..."acknowledge the existence of" a higher being...something greater than ourselves...a god of some kind...stands. The existence-status of that being is a fact that some do not acknowledge.
