Quite a difference between something being an “aid” and being a “concept”, no?
I’m an atheist, so, I voluntarily respond to you asdo. And, as that you start out asking what one thinks, the response to any notions about god or anything else for that matter, would *have* to be conceptual. That is, something of the nature of words and/or concepts. All such ruminations are subjective by definition so I doubt if you in fact care much about such things. Now, your last comment/question, asking how one *knows* god…(not being a concept) actually flies in the face of everything you presented prior to that moment. I say this because such knowledge including things like gnosis are beyond or above simple conceptual apprehension. Perhaps you could rephrase your question(s) in a more coherent way so that we can more easily respond to you, OK? Thanks!
