Too bad, it's an interesting way to go about supporting strong atheism as a position.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

RedWiz, as per your post, agree, but we can also trace the authorship of the bible to an authors(s) who are real people like Tolkien. As I see it, it comes down to believing in magic or not.
Are we all strong Disney style amagicists? Good, then subconsciously we're all gnostic atheists as far as the abrahamic Gods are concerned. I'm comfortable with that position until otherwise.
No God, No fear.
Know God, Know fear.

Other than the awesome Militant, I am the second person you should always fear when it comes to making you realize that you are being absolutely retarded.

Do you recall why, by chance? Morbid curiosity, lol.

That is my contention, that it is impossible for a god to exist.
You make people miserable and there's nothing they can do about it, just like god.
