You made certain allegations about the nature of atheism that I have asked you to substantiate. You haven't to my satisfaction. Can you cut the crap and answer me? How is atheism about a class struggle and if it is, whose side are you on?
Mr Bozo, I am not on either side. I think they are both a joke. I would like to see them destroy one another but I think they are both too stupid lame and lazy. That answer your question, buddy?
Okay. Tell me what makes more sense to you.
Once upon a time when man was trying to figure everything out they - not having thought of Ocham's Razor decided to create a god that created them in order to control people and failed to do so so it took off as a good idea that is still around today but - we who call ourselves atheists having now figured that all out and who can't stand all of the evil things that people have done with this god person and must devote our lives to liberate the theist! They are so nice.
Or
We the atheist hate this fantasy world you the theist have created and want to destroy you and your fairy tales.

People with blue eyes don't hate what doesn't exist, so what do they hate? More importantly, what do they really want and why?
Oh! OH!! I KNOW! I KNOW! PICK ME! PICK ME!

What sort of struggle would you call it?

First, what exactly do you mean that a god can be anyone or anything? And why is it stupid to deny the existence of gods because of that? It's not obvious to me, I hope you can explain.
In the anceint Hebrew / Aramaic / Greek Latin and more modern English languages the word god means simply anything or anyone that is mighty or venerated. So - if a guy picks up a stick and says: "This is my God!" there is no way to deny him. It is his god.
Theism is the belief in god. Atheism is the non belief in god. Which one makes sense? Neither because they don't know that which they believe or disbelieve. This means that modern day atheists and theists are as - no, actually more ignorant and superstitious than the primitive people that wrote the Bible because . . . well . . . at least they knew what the hell they were talking about, eh?
So what could be the problem between the two? A sort of xenophobic class struggle or simple legislation? You tell me? Does it make sense to be an Atheist which is really nothing more than not believing what someone else believes while at the same time not bothering to educate themselves on what that is? Tradition? Culture? Social? Political?
Education, Homosexuality, Abortion? Stem cell research? Am I getting warm.
It really is very simple. If someone believes in a fairy tale one doesn't form a group to counter it. They let them believe what they want. What would be the point in devoting one moment of your time to anything more than thinking to yourself: "I don't believe in that fairy tale" unless it were motivated by some political agenda?
