Seems to me that the only thing keeping you out of category D for non-theists is a drift towards...well...theism. Is that correct?
I am not sure Eorl. But if I agree with that - it seems fair to say that the only think that keeps non-theists inside category D is thier drift toward non-theism.
That is not entirely fair however, there could be a member of category D that has yet to have an experience that could be interpreted as religious.
The thing that I know is that once I started to lean toward believing in a God - after man years of simply not thinking about it - and then a few years of searching for the truth regarding God - I felt that I was experiencing more and more of God. As if, when I began to lean, the object I thought I was experiencing gave me a swift shove.
The only type of knowledge of a God (if our preliminary definitions are at all in the right ball park) it would have to be subjective and incomplete. Thus the experience of God could be subjective to the person, different in many ways, and still be the truth.
