If God fits one common definition, a Creative loving force who has always interacted with creation, then both believers and unbelievers MUST interact with God. If this God calls us to be compassionate, intuitive, creative, and humble, all those who express compassion, intuition, creativity, and humility - interact with God, whether they believe in God or not. And if there is no God, the same reality exists, but without the spiritual aspect that believers perceive.

Faith is a language, a vision, a perspective, a way of viewing reality. People who don't have faith face the same reality - but from a different perspective. I hope both can tolerate and appreciate each other.

Now, I have to say that I just plain don't know how to deal with the people who think in absolutes. They speak a language that is entirely from mine.
