[quote=takoma]As an atheist, I'm perfectly happy with Oprah's comment. To me it means that she's basically in agreement with me that "God" is just a word for the feelings of awe we have with the universe, our love for our fellow beings, and our belief in the golden rule. I do not begrudge her right to focus those feelings by calling it God; in fact, I do it myself sometimes -- just sneeze near me and you'll elicit my reflex loyalty to God. I don't think there ought to be a dispute over belief or terminology among those who are willing to accept others' right to believe different things. It's those who are so adamant in their beliefs, either in the existence of God and the way He should be worshipped, or those who campaign to eradicate that belief, that I disagree with.[/quote]
