[QUOTE="Harte, post: 94547, member: 443"] Just a couple of points to add here. 1) The disbelief in any supernatural deity does not preclude the use of a common noun in a properly constructed sentence. In the following: it is clear that Ayasano properly selected an appropriate noun to communicate his meaning. Because the god of Abraham is not associated with any form of idolatry, the word "god" here (lower case) was appropriate, if the Abrahamic god was to be included in the list (i.e., the word "idol" can't be used here to convey the same meaning.) The use of any other appropriate term (Yahweh, "Jesus," "Tetragrammaton," etc.) would elicit the same meaningless argument from you concerning the selection of a noun, would it not? 2) Does the use of a term indicate that one believes in the reality of the thing described by that term? If so, I ask the moderators to delete every post I have ever made that wherein I used the term "Atlantis." The point is, your argument (quoted above) is utterly vacant and constitutes a blatant waste of electronic storage space, not to mention the time used by any readers of the post. Harte [/QUOTE]
