[MD] atheistic and content

[Ian Glendinning]

Hi Marsha, gav, et al

I thought gav's summing was pretty good.
I tend to say non-theistic - not recognizing any need for objective
division into individuals (I, god or gods) to use your language - but
nevertheless an acceptance of the mystical in the whole (kinda
Spinoza's pantheism in gav's suggestion).

Then (as gav also suggests) there is no reason to take any
particularly "anti" theist position - at least not as a matter of
principle - we will still of course want to take exception to specific
things particular theists and theisms do and say.

That sound about right ?

I think it gets interesting again - given that acceptance of the
mystical - when we start to talk about the nature of belief and (that
dreaded word) faith. (ie in what and on what basis)
