Quick Poll - Do you believe in God?

Now you're getting it.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist.  This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair.  Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second.  That means there's a situation vacant.'

This is arguing such a trivial thing.

For all we know, there is dumb people out there who don't believe in God but believe in Satan. Perhaps it's the most illogical belief. So who cares?

Obviously.

...okay, I'll give a real answer. What you just said is the point. The Jesus Christ of the bible can't exist without god existing. Neither can the Satan of the bible, unless your friend believes in some other Satan than the biblical one, in which case said being isn't really the same Satan.

Yes, but then they would not be atheist. I'm pretty sure you guys do not understand what atheist means. I care because I see atheism being misrepresented by atheists and theists alike. The problem with this is that I am then perceived incorrectly based on assertions made by an ignorant few.

That hardly matters. Your argument is still stupid.

No, I don't and I agree. When I called you a cunt, I mean you are a cunt. It is not an argument; it is a statement of fact. My argument was elsewhere in this thread. You called me a vile human being simply for swearing and calling you out as a liar, so I hope you fall right off that pedestal of yours, fucktard.

I thought Atheism was the rejection of any and all Deities... Is Satan condsidered a deity?
"I trust my own reason and my own capacities to think and educate myself and to reach greater levels of knowlege and status through learning and work. To me, wishing for a god is like wishing to be a slave, it is like declaring that one is too incompetent to handle one's own affairs." - the germans are coming

The Jesus Christ of the Bible CAN and DID exist, irrelevant of whether or not you believe he is the son of God or a Prophet etc. Similarly, Muhammad DID exist, irrelevant if whether or not you hold the Qur'an to be true. Are you claiming that Jesus from Nazareth is not a historical character...?

It is the product of a deity, though I might argue that it is a deity, given the worship of angels and their supernatural abilities. They are not creators, but lesser gods in a sense? Surely.

Well, maybe he isn't, but the bulk of our resident historians and history buffs do make that claim and with damn good reason.

(I would like to note that when I said Jesus of the bible I meant miracles and all. The real Jesus is often referred to as the historical Jesus, as opposed to the biblical one.)

So you quoted me, not to join the discussion like a civilized human being, but to name-call like a 5 year old girl? What a waste of time you are, get a life and grow up.
