Carlin was a self proclaimed atheist was he not? and his religious roots were based in Catholicism. That would make his views on God as an atheist based on what Catholicism teaches god to be. Now if you (being an atheist as well) can identify or support any questions or challenges based any work or material Carlin put together based on his knowledge of God then, it can be said that [at least apart of the] Catholic doctrine supports the Atheist view of God.

Hmmm, Now only if their were some way of tying you to some work or bit Carlin did based on his catholic based knowledge of God that you agreed with... If such a thing existed then maybe we could start there.Thinking

George Carlin was not and is not all atheists. Cato's response to you still stands. Find any doctrine taught by the catholic church that supports our view of god, or shut up.

Best explanation so far. He was fed up wanking alone in the dark.

Now he has to wank alone in the light. He aint been laid in 2000 years. No wonder he's got such anger management issues.

You have been given a window into His nature. After all apart of you was made in His image. So put yourself in a state of nothingness, and ask yourself would you remain there? if so how long before you decided to make a change well with in your ablity to do so?

No, we as a species have a "window" into human imagination.

Humans created god/gods/God/deities, in their image.

I don't know. I have no answer on your question.

I replied to Thor that I have no answer on that question.

Atheism is a non-prophet organisation. - A dusty old book that I found that must be completely true because someone wrote it down.

Can you for once show me in scripture that God created these things: hint, you can't, not because you want, which by the way is also true, but it is not found anywhere in scriptures, I still dare you to try though and when you can't please stop making unfounded statements about God.
God loves those who believe and those who do not and the same goes for me, you have no choice in this matter. That puts the matter of total free will to rest.

Read the Genesis account and you will see, that is if you read very carefully.
By the way I thought you were not going to respond to my statements any more, I'm glad you changed your mind, really!
