atheist quotes

[bozo]

George Orwell's " Down and Out in Paris and London " contains a character BOZO, who is a tramp and who is described by the author as
quote " an embittered atheist who does not so much disbelieve in God as personally dislike him ".

I disbelieve in God, but if I am wrong I am as sure as Bozo that I will not like him.

Lmao that is funny bozo.I don't believe in God or gods of any kind and because I don't believe I find it hard to dislike something I am convinced that does not exist.

[imans]

i agree with bozo, atheist word mean an image given justifying god hatred in power abuses on weaker minds for who hates him without considering the justifications given by weak human condition for being against who want to steal their minds

[Edwardo Piet]

I can't hate something that doesn't exist. How's that possible?

[chatpilot]

So very true Evidence I would love to know how that is possible.

[imans]

you dont hate god than, but who hates any leadership concept abusing weakness of minds in needs to exist freely before doing for their existing shapes anything right, would easily understand how it could be considered as a projection to what he hates more truely the fact of being forced to live as conditionned body unable to think his future alone without killing himself of the fact being dead

Thanks to all who have responded to my Orwellian quote.
To those who struggle with the concept of not liking what you are convinced doesn't exist, I refer you to RD's " God Delusion ", specifically his spectrum of probabilities concerning the existence of God. The spectrum has milestones from 1 to 7.
Milestone 1 represents 100% probability that God exists. At the other end milestone 7 represents 100% probability that God doesn't exist.
As rational people, I suspect very few ateists would put themselves in 7,
rather milestone 6 which represents a very low probability of God's existence albeit short of zero. Hope this helps.

[Abaddon]

yep i would say that i am milestone 6. i can't seem to completely cross him off as a possibility. especially due to the big bang theory being weak at this time. really i am at that level simply because i am ignorant to anything else that could have caused the matter that created the universe.

anyhow, about you quote. i thought it was pretty funny. sense i agree that if God/Jesus/Fairies did exist i would despise them. and show them nothing but contempt.

The point of milestone 6 or 7 is that it is surely impossible to rule out the possibility, however minute, of God's existence and only a zealot would pick 7. However, I don't come across many believers who would consider for a second not being in 1!

I guess I am a zealout I need no further convincing that God does not exist and consider myself at milestone 7.I am 100 percent convinced that God is a myth.
