What is Your Approach?

[The Reality Salesman01]

You are an Atheist when it comes to any number of the countless other Gods that mankind has conjured; we just go one God further than you. I won't ask you to disprove Shiva before recognizing your lack of belief in him, please give us the same courtesy with regards to our position towards the Christian God.

And remember, Locke, my beagle is an atheist, too, because he lacks a belief in any God/gods. Thank God for that, because if God is real, poor Victor is going to hell for what he was doing to my pillow this morning!

Actually, the suffix (-ist) denotes a person. Plus, everyone knows that all dogs go to heaven anyway.
