Whatever you can imagine as theism, is not present in atheism.
The consideration of gods.

There is no coherent definition of a god
In my own words a god is anything or anyone venerated. In Oxford's dictionary a god is
1. (in Christianity and other monotheistic religions) the creator and ruler of the universe and source of all moral authority; the supreme being.
2. (in certain other religions) a superhuman being or spirit worshiped as having power over nature or human fortunes; a deity.
an image, idol, animal, or other object worshiped as divine or symbolizing a god.
"wooden gods from the Congo"
used as a conventional personification of fate.
"he dialed the number and, the gods relenting, got through at once"
3. an adored, admired, or influential person.
"he has little time for the fashion victims for whom he is a god"
a thing accorded the supreme importance appropriate to a god.
"don't make money your god"
4. INFORMAL
the gallery in a theater.
1. The consideration is not theism. Theism is the BELIEF in theism. Consideration of pink sparkly unicorns is not BELIEF in them.
2. Same
3. You made up that definition. Is Vladimir Putin a god ? You believe in him ? LOL Get help. Making up your own personal definitions is meaningless, AND denigrates you claim that you're a theist.
---- "he dialed the number and, the gods relenting, got through at once --- is a figure of speech, and has nothing to do with theism or BELIEF. . If THAT really is your theism, you're even more fucked up than we thought
ALL your ridiculous arguments have nothing to do with BELIEF in gods, and the only thing they have in common is the word "god". You believe in the god in Greek mythology, Koalemos (Ancient Greek: Κοάλεμος) was the god of stupidity, mentioned once by Aristophanes, and being found also in Parallel Lives by Plutarch. Coalemus is the Latin spelling of the name.
You aren't really that stupid are you ?
BUT ... thank you for demonstrating for us all, that for you theism and YOUR beliefs in your god are so incoherent they equate to a gallery in a theatre. LMAO
Every religion is true one way or another. It is true when understood metaphorically. But when it gets stuck in its own metaphors, interpreting them as facts, then you are in trouble. - Joseph Campbell
