    I already clearly told you one of my beliefs is that if God does exist   
   I've no doubt people have a number of differing beliefs about "him" and refer   
   to   
   "him" in a number of different ways. Another belief I have is that if God does   
   not exist people STILL have a number of differing beliefs about "him" and refer   
   to "him" in a number of different ways. Can you comprehend either of those   
   beliefs? If so and you feel either of them are incorrect, then try explaining   
   how you do.
