The assertion can be completely destroyed by postulating a God who by definition is logically possible. Wink

Of course, then you'd get into a debate over what a "God" was.
I'm going to back it up in a youtube one of these days soon. I've been thinking about this for quite a while. I will be using the definitions of god and atheism and other words from the following three sources: Mirriam Webster dictionary, Oxford dictionary, Wiki. None of the definitions are logically possible, unless it is not a god one is talking about. At some point a set of accepted definition has to be settled on, and I heard that those two dictionaries are considered to be the best ones. Wiki has some good articles regarding the currently defined strengths of atheism, so I'll be using those too.
I'm really shitty at giving kudos and rep. That's because I would be inconsistent in remembering to do them, and also I don't really want it to show if any favouritism is happening. Even worse would be inconsistencies causing false favouritisms to show. So, fuck it. Just assume that I've given you some good rep and a number of kudos, and everyone should be happy...
