That would have made more sense if you had written:

THERE ARE NO GODS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

But...there may be gods, so it doesn't make a lot of sense no matter how you write it.

Do you believe in beliefs? Or are you blindly guessing that beliefs don’t exist?

More than one thing. I do want to ask questions of the atheists here...and I do want to discuss the responses they give.

I thought that is what any visitor would want to do.

You seem to think there is something wrong with that.

Why?
Except that when we give you our answers you say “that can’t be your answer.” How productive, lol.

I do not do any "believing." If I am guessing...I say I am guessing; if I am estimating...I say I am estimating; if I am opining...I say I am opining.

How many times do I have to answer your questions about that?

@Frank Apisa

Serious question: what time do you set your alarm for in the morning to log-in here and tell atheists what they think about gods? Do you put it in your day planner so you don’t forget? Or, maybe you don’t need to. Do you lay awake at night trembling in anticipation for the sunrise so you can log into AF and tell atheists what they think about gods? How important is this to you?

Why are you trolling? Did you not get enough attention from your parents when you were little?

@Frank Apisa

So you estimate, opine, or otherwise guess that beliefs don’t exist? I think you’re lying to yourself. You do believe that beliefs exist. You just don’t want to admit it to yourself. 😉

I NEVER set my alarm. I wake up early. I am a golfer...and we have to be at the course at 6:30...so I get up about 4:30...and I need no alarm to do that.

I do not tell atheists what they think about gods. I have mentioned that most (nearly all) people who use "atheist" as a descriptor..."believe" there are no gods or "believe" it is more likely that there are no gods than that there is at least one.

I enjoy Internet discussions. 

Try to get a life that works, Lady. Stop allowing me to upset you so.

I am not trolling. I am merely responding to folks like you who ask me questions.

Thank you for sharing what you think. I was beginning to think you are unable to think.

Shouldn’t you be golfing?
