Does this mean God would be an atheist?  Tongue

He'd be atheistic to the point of believing in one more god than I do.

No, God would automatically be a theist as he would believe in himself.

A God from a monotheistic religion would assume that he knows everything because he created everything that he knows. However, he might not be sure why he is even there in the first place. He might consider that there is something beyond him.

I don't believe you.

You think I'm lying about what I've wondered? Y'know, you don't have to be a petty little shit, you're not worth the effort of attempting to deceive. If you don't trust me to tell the truth about what I've wondered, fuck you.

I don't worship myself, thanks.

I think you were coming something to argue with Theists, not actually wondering about the Creator that you know exists. And I don't believe most Atheists honestly doubt God, I believe they deceiving lie to themselves about God and disbelieve in God in that regard.
It was a hard thing for me to realize, but I do realize it now. There are some confused Atheists, I don't believe you are one of them.

You are right, you worship illusions of yourself because you lie to yourself about what you have become, which the witness testifies to, and which you are too afraid to look at and admit because of what disbelief in God and rebellion against him truly is.
You don't know yourself to even worship and value that above all, for who knows themselves, knows their Lord.

Well, I honestly doubt God exists. I can't see him, hear him, touch him, or smell him anywhere. I don't sense his presence. And the world clearly looks to me like there's no [interventionist] God behind it.

I don't think Atheists generally are honest about the word honestly. I just don't believe it anymore. I believe they lie to themselves every day about not knowing God.

What you think is meaningless to me. Theists won't even try to explain even a little how they honestly know God exists, and that's because I'm pretty sure they don't have a clue if it's really God they've been feeling or not.

I think that people who assume other people are lying are the most likely to be sniveling deceptive weasely disingenuous whiny little bastards themselves.
