How about we just refer to you as god. That seems to be what you're going for.

Well, this makes about as much sense as the majority of your posts.
So, keep up the, ah...good work, I guess.
By the way, since when is atheism a faith?
You'd believe if you just opened your heart" is a terrible argument for religion. It's basically saying, "If you bias yourself enough, you can convince yourself that this is true." If religion were true, people wouldn't need faith to believe it -- it would be supported by good evidence.

Meh, no fucks are given, have at it. You can identify yourself as Shirley, and I doubt anyone would care.

Actually, that's perfect. From now on, I'm going to refer to Drich as "Shirley".

Apart from the fact that you can't love something that doesn't exist, are you being extra stupid on purpose, Drich?

You all have convinced me with your endless arguements that despite what 'rule' a given affiliation may have they mean little to nothing compared to what a person 'feels' or claims for himself.
So... I feel like I have spent enough time around atheists to identify myself as one by proxcimity (Not by core belief) But as you all say core belief is just a formality. Who are any of you to say I am not an atheist if i say that I am?
So from now on I wish to be identified as a God loving Atheist!
...That is unless you all can conceed that there are indeed rules to being affiliated with a given group, other than a verbal proclaimation stating that one is indeed apart of said group.
To be recognized as an honorary atheist, you must demonstrate basic spelling competency, Drich.

Which, given the utter boondoggle that is this thread, is a very charitable name to give him, considering some of the well earned alternatives.

What a special sunflower you are, Drich. You may call yourself anything that you want. It is your life, after all.
