Every time a person accepts the Messiah as their saviour another nail is driven in the coffin of the atheist's god. That old false god SELF is replaced by the Creator God and love for our neighbor begins to suppress our old SELFish unbelieving nature.

"SELF", unlike Jehovah, doesn't require 10% of my gross income. Likewise, I have yet to have people show up at my door to tell me all about the glories of "SELF"; nor are there entire television channels devoted to spreading the word of "SELF".
I'm an atheist.
I have no God.
George H. Birkett's hypothesis has just fallen at the first hurdle.
We should call a veterinarian to put it out of its suffering.
Oddly enough, of the people I know who do work for charity most are atheists, or at least agnostics, or in one case a lapsed Catholic. Catholics run a close second for as misguided as their ideas often are they do believe 'For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also.(James 2:26). 'Sola Fide' protestants run a very poor fourth in my book.
Sorry, we have no gods. Unlike your god, the one that exists in the gaps.
@ IanC: "... NO gods exist."
Of all THE habits That THESE people have, it's the Spatter-gun appROACH to capitalization that pisses me OFF the most.
I have to READ it As It Is WRITTEN which means a PAUSE at every capitalized word as I mentally SHOUT it to mySELF.
Uh! George, Atheists don't beleive in god. Any gods or godesses; including themselves.
We don't believe in god because we are selfish, but because we haven't been knobbled at an early age to believe.
Fundies, have been knobbled at an early age. So you end up supporting a bunch of money-grubbing, authoritarian know-nothings. And boy they knobble so much you become silly about it all. It's got to the stage where fundies are now trying to redefine the meanings of words hopeing that their imagined definitions will replace the true meanings. How intellectually hobbled have you all become?
Satan must be subtler than you think. The whole fundy movement is just a smoke screen to try and justify wickedness. And simpletons like you, George, are just unwitting tools that have been taken-in by it.
The idea that everyone "worships" something is pretty common in fundamentalist circles. The claim is that if you're not worshiping God, you're worshiping yourself, or your friends, or your job, or your own pleasures. Equivocation on the meaning of the word "worship" aside, this is one of those claims that is usually made without scriptural support, but people believe it anyway if the guy in the pulpit says it emphatically enough.
You pea-brained dolt. If you get yourself some good lexicographical references you'll save yourself plenty of embarrassment.
But, by all means, go ahead and invent a new language that all you fundies can use. A language where the word for theist means the same as the word for atheist for instance. But don't hold your breath expecting the whole world not to laugh at you.
You have faith in your belief, that should be sufficient. But, don't expect other people to believe in the same things that you do, you arrogant tosser.
It strikes me, that only people you'd manage to convert would have to be gullible, simple or both, like you.

Atheist's God? Fail in two words. Outstanding!

Yeah, Christians are completely selfless. It's not like they lie, cheat, steal, beat gays, oppose civil rights, and bomb federal buildings and abortion clinics.
Wait a minute...
Damn them all.
One of the key points raised by the atheists were "What's the difference between an imaginary entity, and an invisible and untangliable entity?" . It got dodged and bumped a couple of times until the thread went off course.
If anyone on this forum has ever seen a believer actually adress this question, feel free to link me to it.
Atheists have no god that is in a coffin..we dont have a god or goddess period. Is it really THAT hard to understand that atheists dont believe in gods or goddesses?
The self is not a god, honestly, everything is "god this..god that.." to you people.
"atheist's god"
*Epic facepalm*
"Every time a person accepts the Messiah as their saviour another nail is driven in the coffin of the atheist's god."
Exactly how fucking brain dead do you have to be to believe there's an atheist "god"?
"That old false god SELF is replaced by the Creator God and love for our neighbor begins to suppress our old SELFish unbelieving nature."
Wow. That's not quite as profound as you thought it was. In fact, it's rather stupid and senseless.
"That old false god SELF..."
so, what, i'm not real now?
Honestly, this is so stupid that if it's not a Poe, I will be seriously disappointed in humanity. I already am, but this just...wow.
ALL HAIL ME
ALL HAIL MEEEEEEEEEEEE
“Every time a person accepts the Messiah as their saviour another nail is driven in the coffin of the atheist's god.”
‘Kay. I don’t remember any services, or litany, or miracles performed, so maybe he already died a long time ago.
“That old false god SELF is replaced by the Creator God and love for our neighbor begins to suppress our old SELFish unbelieving nature.”
Love for our neighbor? Unless they’re poor, brown, darker brown, weak, hungry, or working seven jobs to survive.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
