Probably because of the comment you posted, and the link you provided being entitled "On Atheism"- confused me.

It really would appear you are deliberately trying to mislead, actually.

Since it links to page indicting one specific type of Atheism, then the link title should not read "On Atheism".

I'm sorry about that. The page itself was simply titled "Atheism". That was the heading given to those quotes. I didn't think to add any additional qualifiers to it. The intent was not to mislead.

Yes, a beautiful quote. This is the difference between pantheism, and atheism. That's why I identify as a pantheist...


If Everything is God then nothing is God.
