Can a potato be an atheist?

[Angrboda]

I'm a slut. If a god came to me, I'd become one with the ground. Let's face it, would you defy any mortal terror because of past theory?

If a religion developed around bigfoot, and he was described as doing all these douchey things, and then he walks into your living room, are you gonna flip him off and jump up and down on his toe? That's irrational.

And how do you know God is as described? Maybe he dropped by your flat to see if you could help him correct some of those mistaken myths. But before he can open his mouth, you empty a full can of flame retardant chemicals on his ass.

However, I'm not sure a god could readily meet my epistemic bar. I've lived most my life with psychotic delusions and other psychotic symptoms (though not many hallucinations), and I'm an anti-realist.

I can't imagine what I could experience that would persuade me of a god's reality. I'm always checking my six for false data as it is. But then, who knows what a god could do? (Stand up, stand on your head, pick your nose... how should I know?)

Atheists do not believe in god.

Atheism is the lack of a belief not a belief .

Potatoes don't believe in anything as they do not have the capability of thought.

Therefore Potatoes are Atheists.

A Potato couldn't be a strong atheist, though, because Strong Atheism is a belief that god definitely does not exist.

A Potato can certainly NOT be a theist which is also a belief.

We whisper in her ear, "You are not true."

You are not prepared to answer this one yet, grasshopper. Come back when you are ready.

But how will I know when I am ready?

When you are ready, then you will know.
