39. I don't see how that's a response to my response to BMUS, who
rather clearly indicated a belief that I was "denouncing .. atheism" and considered myself in possession of an "indisputable logic" refuting atheism.

But to answer what you have written: in the subject line of my OP, you will see that I made a specific query about whether two questions meant the same thing.

I have indicated elsewhere in this thread that it is my own view that someone might say "I do not think G-d exists but nevertheless I believe in G-d" much as someone might say "On the basis of my long experience, I have decided there's really no such thing as Love, but I have decided to believe in Love anyway."

Someone who made such a statement about Love would not be making a argument in the usual sense: the statement has neither premises nor conclusions, nor does demonstrate anything. Nevertheless, I think such statements can be meaningful.
