subject: ATHEISM v FIDEISM

FR:
-Except that atheism is the lack of belief in all of the gods and
-goddesses humanity has created for themselves.  Everyone is born
-an atheist and, as you know, everyone is an atheist after they're
-dead.
BE:
-According to this concept, an "atheist" would just as soon say,
-"Gods may well exist, but I don't believe a word of it".
>No, according to atheism, atheism is the lack of belief in all the
>gods and goddesses.
Well, this is merely a restatement of your position.  You did not
answer the questions originally put to you 10 days ago:
BE:
-One way to resolve this question is to put the issue directly to
-you:
-
-Do you DENY that gods exist?
-
-If not, why not?
Would you be so kind as to please answer those questions.
Thank you.
Bob
