> Romansh:We then move on to the difference between atheistic and atheist when used as an adjective. For me there is a subtle difference. For me it is OK to say David has an atheistic position in the Trinity ... in that like atheists you disbelieve in a Trinitarian god. (Assuming you do).

> I can't see the problem here.-I don't see the importance of worrying about these minute differences in definitions. To me an atheist doesn't accept the concept of God or gods, strongly or weakly doesn't matter, and an agnostic like dhw is not sure that it can be proven there can be a God or gods, but he remains open to the possibilty that proof may appear. All simple and not worthy of prolonged discussion. Resembles the famous number of angels on the head of a pin. We debate here about whether science is providing any answers to the question. Whether the Bible is some help is also covered. Definitions don't get to any central points.
