29. "What if we construe the prefix "a" negatively to mean "no"?"

That's called begging the question - assuming atheists believe it is proven there is no god, so that believers can assert that atheists are 'denying god's existence'.

I don't 'deny god's existence' anymore than I 'deny' the existence of aliens. When I see conclusive objective evidence of either, then I'll form an opinion.

All I can say now is no evidence = no belief, NOT rejection.
