We both KNOW that gods exist in the land of fairy tales and daydreams. But that is not what is being discussed. We are discussing whether or not they exist in the REALITY.
Why not address that?
If you are saying "They do not exist in the REALITY...say it.
Because you're not capable of getting it unless it's spelled out? That is obviously what is meant. This may not be the forum for you. I certainly don't have patience for this kind of asshattery.

Most people who have a comprehension issue don't comprehend that they have a comprehension issue.

So you don't think anything is actually true. That's an interesting position to hold. Do you think it's true that you don't do believing?

Hmm. That definition could include an acne-ridden teenager who hit 'run' on the 'start universe' app. If that's how the universe started, I don't think it would make that kid a god in any meaningful sense. There's some speculation we've already accidentally created universes in cyclotrons, I'm far from convinced of that but it's definitely not inconceivable that beings who are not god-like in any conventionally accepted sense of the word could initiate a universe.

All the "gods" currently popular seem like douche bags to me...especially the MOST popular ones.
Funny that people who use the descriptor atheists call others "believers"...when so many of them do the "believing" themselves. They "believe" there are no gods.
Me, I do not believe there are no gods...and I also do not believe there are any gods.
Believers call themselves believers, we're just using their own terminology for themselves, which is only polite. It's pretty clear to most folks that what believers in this context believe in is a God or gods. We're nonbelievers because in this context we don't believe in any God or gods. In context 'believer' does not mean 'someone who has any beliefs at all' and 'nonbeliever' does not mean 'someone who has no beliefs at all.' I also don't believe there are no gods or that there are any gods. Which makes me an atheist. But I believe plenty of other stuff. I believe the earth will continue to orbit the sun for a very long time, for instance.

I am NOT an atheist.
What god do you believe in?
I'm not anti-Christian. I'm anti-stupid.
