Everything exists
#11
RE: Everything exists
If the God(/s) that a theist believes in is entirely metaphorical and abstract and they do not actually believe in a deity that exists in external reality apart from themselves... then I consider them an atheist... or a pantheist perhaps (which Dawkins describes as basically 'sexed up atheism'.

Those who don't believe that any deities exist in external reality, in actuality, in this universe ( and other possible universes) I consider atheists. I mean, I believe in the existence of the concept of God but that doesn't make me a theist. I mean - I also believe in the concept of the Easter Bunny for goodness sake!
