Wow, I never realised that acting was such a dangerous job. No wonder the A-listers get paid so much. Consider all the dangerous story lines that get acted through them. I'm beginning to think that Team America was on the mark when it painted acting as some kind of super power. Except they were using it as satire.

So if I act as an atheist is this proof that your god does not exist? This is powerful stuff. It means that I can summon up anything I want just by acting it.
Incidentally, there is nothing wrong with pure evil. A few drops on your chest before going to sleep is great for stopping your partner from snoring.
Now if you excuse me I'm going to start acting like a Cthulhu worshipper.

I believe it is, and if we discover it was, then atheists cannot claim anything about being irreligious. In fact they will only be able to claim that they are directly acting out against God, for purely evil or ill-will'd intentions.
Atheism "created" in the 20th Century? So you know jack shit about western intellectual history. What a surprise.
Well if I'm not mistaken the intellectual revolution started in the 17th century with Voltaire and the enlightenment. They also started discussing God then unless I'm wrong. But there was not ever an "atheism" before that as far as I know. Christopher Colombus discovered America, but he also wrote about God. No, I have a good understanding about intellectual history, but I can bet you don't.
Either way, there has not been too much of intellectual history. Not long ago was the enlightenment, which was really the first proclamation of faith. Don't forget, America was only discovered in 1500 (500 years ago). And so as far as I am aware, there has not been any establishing of the faith, much less that of the establishment of a false religion (atheism). I would believe due to the God of established society, and his not playing a large role in civilization as we know it, atheism would have not been created during these times. And only came along the Kooks near the 19th century. So it only makes sense to me that the word was created, in the least, sometime new, and that it makes little difference to the involvement of the christian community.

Wrong. If you act as an atheist you are being entirely blind to the truth. Nothing you do is proof of God, because it's all the absence of God.
If however you believed in God, there is proof there in your actions.
There is plenty wrong with evil.... Evil is the first desire of atheists. That's my belief. It is also fundamental to atheism. You should really consider spreading the word.

Exactly. By you reasoning if I act as an atheist then I prove that God does not exist.

I_am_not_mafia:
That is entirely untrue. By you acting as an atheist in the first place all of your actions are the non proof of Gods existence. Or in other words when you act as an atheist you're acting as a complete idiot, totally irrational and blind to the truth.
That describes you, too, I bet.

There, corrected it for you. No need to thank me

Atheists are fundamentaly evil? You do know atheists make up less than 1% of the US prison population, right. Religion has also caused many wars throughout history, I don't remember atheism causing any wars.
