That is not a matter of belief, it is a matter of fact that concepts of gods exist. There are thousands of concepts of gods, all of them real concepts. That does not mean that any of such concepts describe any actual entity, does it? Quetzalcoatl exists as a concept of a god from south america. Sculptures of that conceptual god exist. Does that mean it is a real god? Do you believe in it?
I'm sorry, but I don't think this is the appropriate thread to answer such a question.
Although I would love to hear why you do not believe in the concept of a God. If you would be so kind as to share your story it would be greatly appreciated!
Well, I guess I need to revise my question yet again! Thanks for the post Abaddon I absolutely love how you tore apart the structure of my question and I'm being very serious I love this kind of stuff! Thank you!

Abaddon is merely trying to demonstrate why your logic is bad. What you are doing is selection bias. There are a myriad of god claims you rightfully reject. Try thinking about why you reject Zeus and not the one you believe to be true.
Abaddon is merely saying you reject Zeus for the same reason Abaddon rejects the one you believe in. The only difference between a theist and an atheist is that we reject one more god claim than you do.
Indeed. I did not expect explanation would be required, but it appears john needs it.
OK, johndoe, Do you agree that Zeus exists as a concept, yes or no?
Do you believe in Zeus as a real god, yes or no?
Do you hate Zeus or are you indifferent to him? Which is it?
Since it seems this thread has gone off the rails I suppose I can answer your questions rather quickly. I will number them so as to help you follow along.
1) Do you agree that Zeus exists as a concept, yes or no? YES
2) Do you believe in Zeus as a real god, yes or no? YES
3) Do you hate Zeus or are you indifferent to him? Which is it? Yes, I hate Zeus
I hope this answers your questions. Thank you for your post!
