Atheists believe in God, but just believe in what he is, rather than what people say about him. Some people call themselves atheists, but they don't even know what the word atheist means. People use words that they don't understand to try to sound impressive. In your case, that would be any words. Atheist - without a deity. I don't believe in a deity, therefore I am atheist. Simple as that. Yes you do, you just don't know what you are saying when you use that word, deity. It encompasses more than you now realize. You are an idiot. Don't you DARE tell us what we do or don't believe. No need to get your feathers all ruffled. I am only expanding your horizons, and taking away your fear of what you know may happen if God does turn out to in fact be real. I do not believe in any kind of god. I have never seen evidence of a god. If you have evidence, present it. If you want to redefine the word 'god' so that it no longer means anything, then go right ahead. We are not obligated to pay any attention to you. God is not redefined. He has always been things atheist believe in, like light, intelligence, compassion, and perfection. None of which are 'god'. |

One fine day in alt.atheism, "Mark Earnest" bloodied
us up with this: God is not redefined. He has always been things atheist believe in, like light, intelligence, compassion, and perfection. None of which are 'god'. Yes they are, and you know it. Why on earth would an atheist know that your references are evidence of "god" when said atheist does not believe in *any* gods, including yours? We know what produces light, it is not supernatural. We know what produces intelligence, it is not supernatural. We know what produces compassion, it is not supernatural. Perfection is a pipe dream of those who believe in the supernatural. You are merely deceiving yourself. You've been doing this since you became religious. When was this, childhood? Teenage?

Define "perfect virtue". Show how light, intelligence, and compassion satisfy that definition. Define "infinite" in terms that require that light, intelligence, and compassion are qualities of it. |
