666 the god of Atheist

Oh, she also had Red Draconic bloodlines which gave her extra abilities.

Besides - who can forget the anticipation, after rolling that first 0, of whether or not the next die was going to result in the most excellent and rare 00 or the usually disastrous 01-09?

That was heady stuff.

I once rolled an 01 while trying to defeat a dragon, aiming for its weak spot.  The DM didn't see me roll it and so demanded that I reroll.  I threw a chair across the room.

In my defense, I was on meds which were giving me outbursts of rage....

I generally trusted my players to roll their own and report it honestly. There was one guy who was substantially "luckier" than a random distribution, he didn't get to roll his own after a point. I always thought that emphasizing the roleplaying aspect over dice rolling made for a better game.

P.S. I probably would have thrown a chair myself.

Take a dice, 6 is the best number in most games. Fundamental to the belief of atheist is that absolute randomness is what caused the universe.
1.       The Big Bang, caused by a universe generating random process.  First 6
2.       Origin of life, caused by a pool of chemicals interacting in every possible way due to random energy. Second 6
3.       Origin of man, caused by random mutations bringing about increasing intelligence, better at surviving the environment. 3RD 6
666 is the beast that the bible says will be worshiped as a god of the last ages.

Actually we worship 321.

The Big Bang.  No idea of it's a chance event or inevitable due to physical laws we are yet to discover.  Say 3.
Origin of life.  It appears life can arise whenever a fairly tolerant list of conditions are met.  Say 2.
Origin of man.   Making a specie that can cling to desert goat herder's Sky daddy for 3000 years, create a religion out of crucified malcontent and build a priesthood out of pederasts is no boast worthy achievement.  Say 1.

All hail the holiest of holy Dusty Bin

Man, this thread is bringing back memories. I haven't played in about 22 or so years (I think I was 13 or 14 the last time). We took our characters from the old Curse of the Azure bonds video game. We didn't realize that you weren't supposed to have 18 in every stat, so we were way, way overpowered. That, combined with the magic weapons we also lifted straight from the video game, made our campaigns incredibly epic.

I played two characters:

Ptolemy, paladin (lol) of Tyr, god of justice. He was just your typical sword wielding meat head with some extra holy abilities.

Allune Innsbrooke, mage. Now he was fun. Long, greasy hair. Scruffy beard. Had a habit of taking 'trophies' from every monster he killed because a lot of them could be used in potions and other magical concoctions, so he smelled really bad. Kind of an asshole. Smart but crude/crass. Brought along specifically for his offensive output.

 Even physicists don't claim to know what "caused" the universe because no one knows what "caused" the big bang.  (This is similar the creationists confusing THE ORIGIN OF LIFE with THE EVOLUTION OF LIFE.)  I'm an atheist, and I have no belief whatsoever regarding what "caused" the universe.  I don't even know what the phrase "caused the universe MEANS." 

As eny fule kno, the Dean of Pentacles caused the universe while wiggling his fingers in the formless void of the Roundworld Experiment during the fallout from the Expirement to Split the Thaum. As eny fule kno.

Not going to even bother with the nonsense of the post.

Just going to reply to the title.

1.  Atheists don't have gods.  If we did, personally I'd choose the Norse gods.  They're far more interesting than the nailed white dude of Christianity and his "virgin" mother.

2. Atheist.  Which particular atheist are you accusing of worshipping a number as a deity?

Anything else you want to relate to us from the voices in your head?

[edit] It’s wanting to do something yet having to settle at doing nothing.

Isn't this a catholic thing.

It's (catholics/theists) wanting (god) to do something yet having to settle at (god) doing nothing. I need to add: and then paying for it.

Sounds spot on to me.

Thank you all for taking the trouble to respond. I truly appreciate it.
The point I am making is that , it seems atheistic thinking substitutes luck where a theist says God.  “God Bless you” becomes “Best of luck.”
Now when a person who truly believes that God exist says God Bless you, he is making a sensible statement from his perspective as he is putting in a good word about you to some one he believes can be of help to you.
However wishing best of luck can have no effect on the outcome as luck by its nature is random and cannot be influenced in any way. It’s wanting to do something yet having to settle at doing nothing.

Wishing and prayer are like masturbation. Feels good but does nothing for the person you're thinking about. A positive sentiment accompanied with an offer of assistance is preferable to prayer or well wishing. If not I then who? Certainly not an invisible man in the sky.

I want fdesilva to return and entertain us some more.

He's over in that other thread he made about the Universe being god's mind-retch.
