Well lets say that your right and its an assertion but it still stops short from it being a claim.
Its still a claim/assertion. Same thing.
Its something youre PUTTING FORWARD.
if you don't know, just say "I don't know whats out there" That way you're not responsible for actually supporting something.
The moment you PUT IT OUT THERE IN THE WORLD that you say "thers a god" then you're held to that claim of what god is.
just because you avoid answering that doesn't mean you're any less responsible for what you've PUT OUT THERE.
Simple having a belief doesn't mean that your making a claim or asserting anything as fact therefore it prevent it from being religious if it just stops there.
Here we go with you.
Having a belief IS THE SAME as making a claim and asserting something.
its you subscribing to something thats been put out there. You're reinforcing it with your support.
You can simply NOT believe something, the same way you don't lend your support to the notion that Zimmerman didn't kill trayvon.
You keep wanting to distance yourself from having a religious view on your god claims so you keep twisting words, redefining words, and redrawing the goal lines so you don't have to be responsible for what you subscribe to. Guess what. I'm not religious. You are. You're the one who has to reconcile the fact that you still believe in a god that you claim has certain qualities. So what its not an abrahamic religion or an eastern religion...you're still claiming god CAN or CAN NOT do something. The moment you even take a stance on what god is or what it can/can't do, its a religious claim.
Stop evading responsibility for your VOLUNTARY subscription to ideas.
Maybe you can't help it, but i'm not responsible for gaps in your knowledge or your inability to simply say: "I dont know" when it comes to difficult questions about the world/universe.
