I think that's where we disagree. I don't think using divine favor really supports the existence of god much more than repeatable powers. I've always seen the mysticism supporting the presence of something. If repeatable powers seem much less supportive to you, then consider the way in which they receive them.

I've always seen the mysticism as something that comes off agnostic rather than atheist. And I don't see divine favor as breaking that in any way.

But it would seem that you believe otherwise.
