If an anti-theist is making this objection, that's personal opinion. A ridiculous one at that.

by any and all means possible.
It's the classic two rules of atheism a-la Christopher Hitchens and others.
Rule 1. There's no God.
Rule 2. If there is a God, I hate Him.
Quote:They hate the idea of a celestial dictator but the universe is full of celestial dictators - gravity, entropy, radiation, death and taxes.
Because all those things can be equated to god right?
Quote:Atheist counter-apologists go berserk trying to rail against intelligent design theory and the Kalam Cosmological Argument and fine-tuning etc. Why? These aren't arguments for ANY particular religious moral stance let alone a Christian worldview. They are virtually completely SECULAR. And yet the atheist can't stand the prospect that there may be a bigger picture with an intentional Higher Cause having control or power beyond the mundane terrestrial existence of the human atheist.
Do you even believe the shit that flies out of your mouth boyo? An actual question. I'm not even going to address this crock of drivel ridden shit.
Quote:Very telling indeed when an atheist admits that their atheism doesn't preclude the plausibility of extra-terrestrial higher life forms
...BUT JUST DON'T USE THE "G" WORD.
I find aliens to be highly unlikely, but far more likely than your god.
