I'm not denying that there is no God?

This is what we call a double negative in English and in general the tow negative words cancel each other giving you a positive statement.

In this instance, the topic being discussed is "there is no ***" The fact that the speaker says they don't deny that implies that he/she thinks there may be a *** . . . or to put in it other words:

I do not think that there is no *** = I t

That is a very awkward sentence and I can see where your problem lies in understanding it.

My understanding is as follows:-

I deny x. = I do not accept of x
I do not deny x = I accept x

The double negative is with "do not" and "deny" giving us a positive.

In this case X = there is no ***.

I believe that the speaker is saying that he accepts the p

Thanks, Anne.

What does this sentence mean: I'm not denying that there is no ***?

Is it equivalent to say: I agree that there is no ***?

There was a mistake in the original post.

I'm still confused. I hope this time it would be settled.

"I think that there is no ***." is "I agree that there is no ***."
" I do not think there is

I deny x. = I do not accept of x
I do not deny x = I accept x

Hi Louise

I didn't see your post until I was done with mine.

Why "accept of x", why not simply "accept x"? Please let me know.

Hi,

Let me add this for you to consider.

In everyday conversation, 'I don't deny X' does not necessarily mean 'I believe in X'.
I may just not be sure about X.

Hello Jackson
there is no reason for "accept of" . I was going on to write something longer and then put X in instead.

I agree with Clive's point above.
