Sorry, I haven't been following this thread too closely. Could you please re-iterate why it is that if a creator exists, it has to be the christian god?

Quote:this would explain why atheists need to keep reminding themselves that God doesn't exist along with the reason that human beings were made the image of God.
That part is spot on, actually. I often forget that I've been an atheist for my entire life. Seriously, I've lost count of the amount times I've found myself in church singing along, enraptured by the sermon or praising jesus, only to suddenly remember that I'm not supposed to believe in god. At that point, I usually just masturbate into the font and caper off whilst cackling maniacally. I'm not kidding, this one time, half the sodding congregation joined in.
Worst.
Christening.
Ever.
