Within the past year I attended a lecture by Mr. Smith and during the lecture he indicated that his formulation was being preferred by scholars in the field while the one given by Jim Choate was still used in the popular culture.

Thus I think it is inappropriate to criticize the definition of atheism used by pjm@spe.com.

Well Fred you and pjm can believe what you wish, I fully support it. However, yourself, pjm, & Mr. Smith are claiming that a belief that something doesn't exist isn't a belief is simply a tricky play on semantics. A belief in a negative is still a belief irrespective of how many people believe it. Might doesn't make right (or logical). As I've demonstrated before (and for the last time): ^(A) = (^A) Argue all you want, Yet it moves. ____________________________________________________________________ The seeker is a finder.
