ontology by advertisers
Thanks to my dad for reading my previous post and filling me in on a tidbit of missing info. AC Grayling, a British philosspher and atheist here gives the background to why the word 'probably' was inserted. Apparently media standards don't allow such things as outright denials of God to be said! Grayling tries to make the case that if we're to all play by the same rules, then religious groups should have to add the cavet 'allegedly' to their claims for the existence of divine being. But this seems a little redundant. For example, Alpha adverts don't say things like 'There is a God'. They say things like "Explore the meaning of life". Anyway. Intersting to see 453 comments regarding Grayling's article, but I suppose it is mostly just the rattling of sabres by theists and atheists alike.
