@Dang Martin i know the distinction people try to make of it. My point is there’s a reason you want that distinction to be there isn’t there?

I see that you’re one of those people who wants to tell me what I am, in order to feel more comfort in your position.

So go ahead and tell me WHY I want this distinction. Tell me that I’m afraid of a god in which I do not believe.

I’ll be waiting for you to tell me why I want this distinction, since you seem to know me better than I know myself.

I don’t know the distinction that is trying to be IMPOSED here.

What’s getting old is that you make declarations like this and then provide NOTHING in the way of clarity. Spell it out for us stupid Atheists who are seemingly so desperate for a distinction.

Taking Regs quote and insert the word “fairy”….like so: “There is a significant difference between having no belief in a fairy and believing there is no fairy…” The conclusion is the same. Grammatically they mean the same thing.

Having no belief in a fairy is rather straight forward. There’s no belief to hold, or to maintain. It takes no work.

Believing there is no fairy indicates that there is a belief to hold, or to maintain.

This is one of the problems with the word “believe.” Christians struggle with it.
