Mty experience is that funniest ones have some truth to them. That's why its funny. I also found that the ones that get really insulted fit that half and can't deal with being told that they may be wrong.

When I listen jokes to about me and my type, I laugh my go's go's off. Then I think to meself, maybe meself should try harder. If religion-ist are offended, whatever.

My atheism is a lack of belief in gods, not God.

All of 'em. Vishnu, Odin, Hachiman, Apollo, etc, etc, etc.

For most any given theist, it is just not believing in one more god than they lack belief in.

Why do you believe all these gods exist? There is only one, it goes by different names. You only need to believe in one so you can disbelieve it.

it depends on the traits we give god. Some atheist will limit the discussion to only one type and will not address anything else on sites.

Luckily, out in the real world, its quite different.

Not everyone shares your opinions about God's or everything else.

The Greeks,Romans, Norse and many others had multiple God's and goddess. Not all that believe in a God agrees that all God's are the same one.

It might surprise you but you do not have the final verdict on God's or atheist. You just have opinions you think must be the truth for all.


And your statement that you need to believe in one God to disbelieve it shows how narrow minded your thinking is. Your opinions are not facts .

If any word can mean anything it is a waste to even discuss a topic.

So first what do you mean when you say God, traits, real or World? If we use different definitions for those words it cannot be discussed. Even verbs like addressed or limit can be used in such different meanings as to end a discussion.

I know you think your role is to attack atheist that are not exactly like yourself who has in appears a very narrow idea of what debate,discussion or thoughts are

No, the point is they believe all these gods do NOT exist. That is what atheism is. It is other people who believe in all the different gods.

It amuses me how people can be so arrogant to make the claim that all other religions are wrong, but they are some how tuned in to the one true god, which just happens to be yours, which you know to be the truth because you are somehow special.

Your argument is no different than Christians saying the human knowledge of their god is written on our hearts, and that it is you that is lost.
