The Irrational Nature Of Atheism - An Explanation Of God, Gods And Goddesses
#31
RE: The Irrational Nature Of Atheism - An Explanation Of God, Gods And Goddesses
When I see this calibur of blatant ignorance, I am compelled to respond...
I guess I'm back, for whatever that is worth.

Big thing here that invalidates everything you have been saying:
Quote:BTW:
If you want the simplest way to show why atheism is a useful term, look around you. A large majority, at least 80%, of the world believes in God as an all powerful, all knowing, and righteous entity. It says so in your Bible as well, so your quotes from the Bible are in contradiction with the ones referencing God as the all powerful creator.

It really doesn't matter whether or not I can show you where in the bible, but nevertheless-
Matthew 19:26
Revalations 19:6
and for all knowing
Job 37:16
Psalm 147:5

Now, words must convey a meaning or else they aren't a word. If anything could have this quality, then the word is useless.
Quote:Yes. Anything can be a god. Most gods are probably phallic. Any dick can be a god. Its just a word.
If the word is most commonly used as the all powerfull, etc. God that is "alive" and working in people's lives, then that is what God is. Period. There are multiple definitions for a reason...
My conclusion is that there is no reason to believe any of the dogmas of traditional theology and, further, that there is no reason to wish that they were true.
Man, in so far as he is not subject to natural forces, is free to work out his own destiny. The responsibility is his, and so is the opportunity.
-Bertrand Russell
