Even if there should be a God, which there probably isn't, why should we assume that this is some personal God. Maybe God is a spark of energy, electromagnetism, or something that we humans are too stupid and primitive to begin to understand. But, in that case, God would not be a personal God. God would not know you, care what you do, know what you think, punish you if you are bad, etc. That kind of God is completely out of the realm of logic.
Quoting: Anonymous Coward 20657814 I think the question needs clarification on what constitutes an atheist. Why nitpick? It is just a discussion. NO ONE knows the answers to these things. If you say you do, you are nothing but a liar. No one knows how we got here. So does it really matter if someone is an atheist, Baptist, New Ager, etc.? The answers are all speculation. If we knew exactly how we got here, there would be no discussion here today. RIGHT? You miss the point entirely. The question of atheism has been raised by someone else. Reading other threads in here, it is clear that when something is left undefined, all sorts of irrelevant things rise up. Also some people make assumptions about the people they are talking to, based on the words they use. I think this could be a very valid discussion if it were better defined. But I think you are missing the point as well. First off, if NO ONE really knows how we got here, and no one does, then it doesn't really matter what label a person places on themselves. I, for instance, say I am an atheist because I don't believe in any Gods. But, I am not so cocky as to say I know for certain because humans are basically stupid, and that includes me. No one knows, that is the bottom line. We don't know if the Big Bang theory is correct, partially correct or absolutely wrong. So, in the end, if I give myself the label of atheist, I am probably lying to myself, in a way. I don't really know. Maybe the Muslim God is the one true God. Maybe God is in everyone. Maybe this life is nothing but a dream. No one knows.
