The most important reason anyone is an atheist

[Zazzy]

If you're comparing God as in the eternal creator to Zeus a created being then you don't have a good understanding of what God is meant to be to begin with.

Of course, this is your version of god I don't understand, right? The true version that nobody holds except you, right? From what I've read of your garbled theology in other threads, I doubt anyone but you understands your god- which is fine. Do you know how many theists who disagree with your version have said the same thing to people here? I could spend my entire life learning about everyone's version of god- and they would all be equally unbelievable.

Even if you want to be an atheist you need study your theology a bit first.

No, I wouldn't. I did, however, take 2 years of theology. But it's nice that you yet again are telling me what I know and don't know. You really have a bad habit with that.

Atheists don't believe. They are without god-belief. Studying your specific sect of Christian theology won't change that. Have YOU studied every other religion on Earth carefully before settling on yours? Because if not, that would seem to put you in the same position.

But at least you're claiming that you choose atheism as a belief which is what it is, even if it was essentially a reaction against the fundies or whoever who are in a way determining what you believe.

I did no such thing and you know it. Atheism is a LACK OF BELIEF. That's what I said, and I know how badly you want to torture it into what you want, and I guess that's just to try to annoy me?

A relationship with the living God? Well you already have that but an understanding/experience of it, that's the main thing you're lacking.

Correct. I have no experience of it. I also have no experience of my relationship with Captain Picard, probably because I don't believe he really exists (unfortunately).

You said you made an active choice to be an atheist and explained why? It's a belief and you decided to adhere to it.

I said the EXACT opposite of that. Not one thing about the above quote is true. Does Jesus approve of liars, Sword?

You seem real enough an atheist to me, I'm a good judge of these things. Though not a knowledgeable/convicted atheist if you're comparing God to Zeus.

Yes- you clearly are good at judging other people- you do it in every post you make. You're just bad at doing it with any accuracy.

Last I checked, Zeus was a god. A different god than your god, but a god. I guess Allah is not a god, either?
