Raymond wrote: "''Rejecting god is very different from not believing in god.''"  Not necessarily.  "Not believing in god" may be active - having heard of god and rejecting god - or it may be passive: Never having heard of god, and therefore not believing in something one has never heard of, is not "rejecting" god.  Such persons were called "virtuous pagans" by Dante Alighieri in his "Divine Comedy."

:For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who suppress the truth in unrighteousness, because what may be known of God is manifest in them, for God has shown it to them. For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even His eternal power and Godhead, so that they are without excuse, For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, [even] his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse..." —Romans 1:19-20 (NKJV)  [[User:Conservative|conservative]] 03:13, 25 May 2010 (EDT)
