Steve - regarding your question to me: > > Does this mean you are not an atheist now?
first - thanks for posting this Sam Harris excerpt. It's great reading. I've been thinking this over for a few days to decide how to best answer and because I share commonality in my beliefs with what Marsha just posted about why she is is an athiest and with what Sam Harris wrote - which seems to imply not being an athiest - How do you define 'atheism'? If you or a group's definition has already been posted - sorry to have missed it. I think it's funny that science has become an 'ism'. mm > One reason that I have had negative associations with atheism is > because I see atheists as rejecting spirituality in favor of > scientism.
