    The qualifier is worthless, as there is only one.
    Given the above, why is your position, or lack thereof, on figments of the human imagination noteworthy?
    Physician, heal thyself.

    Atheism by definition is not a belief. As you know.

    No the qualifier is very important since it aids good communication and definition. I would not want to confuse the Christian God with a believable one.

    So when you celebrated Christmas did ole Saint Nick get you any cool presents, or do you just celebrate the Lord Jesus Christ birthday at church? Communion too maybe?

    Yes you gave me quote from your holy bible, thats what I said.

    then its not "no position generally" as you said after all.
    Your position demonstrates both cognitive dissonance and dissociative disorders.

    You really should concentrate more on nuance and drop the coffee table book psychology, see if you can work out the difference between believable and believe in.

    it is not possible to paint atheists with a broader brush than they have painted themselves, in todays highly literate world an atheist (in their opinion) is anything that lacks belief in G/god(s).

    You know rocks, your car, rover, the sun, a beer etc., all atheists as far as they are concerned :psychoitc: Doesnt get any broader than that.

    you need to clear up the posted dissociative problems so you can understand your position first.

    the result of not knowing is abstention from the vote.

    No, that is precisely the opposite of what it does, as it implies the possibility of more than one God, which is nonsense.
    As credibility is in the eye of the beholder, lovers of lies will find credible entities which try to pass themselves off as the Real Deal; and if Christ as portrayed in the Gospels is indeed the firstborn Son of God, and a person thinks Christ is not credible, it doesn't take a rocket surgeon to figure out where his or her affinities lie.

    Nonsense? That reminds me of a long held theory I have had that Christians actually have four gods. The Father, Son and Holy Ghost are maybe technically one but they are thought of as separate entities by the rank and file. The forth is Satan. Some Christians believe he has the most power over man and a few actually worship him.
    Maybe not worth its own thread.

    You'd have to take that up with believers in the trinity.
    That would not be a surprise to the man who was crucified by the professing Jews He called children of the devil.

    I think you are confused, there are thousands of gods that is a fact.

    I know otherwise.
    No that's an obvious lie, seeing if there's more than one, there can't be any at all.

    Here you go
    Slavic pantheon: Perun
    Turco-Mongol pantheon: Tengri and Kayra
    Vietnamese pantheon: Lạc Long Quân

    • Here you go this is just a list of supreme gods. so you see I am not telling fibs, clearly we need a way to distinguish between all these gods in order to communicate properly. Sorry but no one cares which god you think exists.

    Thanks for nothing.
    Yes you are.
    Sure, just like we need a way to catalogue every item in a trash pile.
    No one who would frame the question that way is in a position to challenge anything I said intelligently. Might as well ask which gravity controls the orbit of Earth and which gravity controls the orbit of Mars.

    I've been broad brushed every time someone finds out I believe in God... AND we see the atheists only provide those interpretations that they can easily dispute.

    If the builder of this site intended to have a debate forum, they would have provided for it. Informal debate? Unrealistic. Pointless. You cover the same ground over and over without changing each other's minds.

    I was in a debate team for a while. It was fun. But I also enjoy some informal debate, even if I don't persuade anybody. I do it because I enjoy it. If you don't think this is a debate forum, then what do you call what we are doing this Sunday evening?

    Oh dear, you have resorted to insults never a good sign. I was not asking you a question, I was stating a fact, that for the purposes of communication no one cares which god you believe in, if you cannot live with that, maybe you should not enter into the debate.

    Really, just try living in a world where Pi equals three! See how far that gets you with modern engineering!
    Just one small example of the Bibles scientific inaccuracy!
