As far as organised religion is concerned - is it now time for us to cut out the middle-man and deal direct?

Jerry -

To my recollection - it was you who who first introduced the term 'non-believer' into this thread if not you certainly used this term. No one seem to have pointed out that this too is a generalisation. Perhaps you would now accept that it is a very divisive one?

The word 'infidel' would be thought by many to mean the same thing as non-beleiver but in fact this means one who does not share in YOUR belief. Great care would have been used over the use of this word. Either way it is hardly showing the tolerant way forward to use such terms and generalise in this manner.

When you use this term - do you for instance include me as one of your 'non-believers'?
