via metaphorical language, I can both say “Yes I believe in God” and “No, I don’t believe in God” with equal honesty.
I think we’re in a similar position.
I can’t say with honesty that I’m atheist because I’m not.
I can’t say with honest that I’m “a believer” because I’m not.
Even agnostic falls short, but it’s the closest thing that most people begrudgingly accept.
I usually avoid the word God altogether because there’s too much baggage.
Also, I like the call to “Power of Myth”. Joseph Campbell was very influential to my way of thinking, although I believe he oversimplified grossly. Still, he started a nice dialogue that continues.
