logic tells us that any two substances that CAN interact in any waymust necessarily maintain a FUNDAMENTAL similaritytherefore, MONISMExplain? What does that have to do with - anything?
omniscient omnipotent creator of all things is the most common definition of "god" i've encountered in these endless debates about "atheism"
OOC however, logically precludes the "independent" existence of anything else - - everything is and must be by definition part of the OOC
therefore, MONISM

Atheists don't have evidence they have a militant sociopolitical frustration in a quasi-theistic culture.
wrong.
atheists are merely UNconvinced of any specific theological claims

@RaymondSheen
Thirdly, as mentioned above one can believe and even trust in a God and still be atheist if they don't venerate said God. I'm apolitical. That doesn't mean "disbelief in the existence of King or kings," it means I'm without politics.
bingo

@Double_R
Atheism is the rejection of theistic claims. The reason for that rejection varies, but in most cases it’s due to the lack of evidence, which is the logical reason to deny any claim.
UNconvinced of any specific theological claim

If it is true, and it is, that a god can be anything or anyone,
ok, you win because atheists don't believe in anything or anyone

Piece of candy?
Look up the IQ of Stephen Hawking and James Woods and tell me which one I should listen to on the subject of physics. Then look up the guys who invented the tests and coined the term - what it means and how it is used/abused.

No, we are just after your resources. We have no interest in managing human lives.
Then would it kill you to stop with the anal probes?! What resources are you looking for there anyway?

Logical common sense critical thinking. Your not familiar with such apparrently.
No. Not at all. Might as well ask the cat. But, hey, "Your not familiar with such apparrently?" Good Job! That's worse than me.
It is obvious you fear the truth and logical common sense critical thinking with these kind of responsesPost 332 at
[Sigh] Alright.
To the ' creator God ' and their illogical, lack of common sense and lack of critical thinking;....naught is created nor destroyed, only transformed......see 1st law of thermodynamics, that,
You want to turn theology into science or science into theology? The sun will eventually do what? How could you create naught or destroy naught? Nuclear explosions? Energy, Bob. Matter.
I don't see the relevance of your observations.

physical images and statues of gods ghosts and goblins, aliensbigfootlochness obviously existthis is the most ridiculous straw-man argument i've ever seen in my life
NO! I WON'T HAVE IT!
There was the Epsilom Program
The main ideals of the Epsilon Program are established on their website. The religions main deity is Kifflom, and members follow his twelve tenets:
- The world is 157 years old, and it doesn't age.
- Dinosaurs are a lie that people believe because they are weak.
- You are happy, you just don’t know it.
- We all come from the same tree.
- Everyone is related to everyone else, except for people with red hair.
- Sperm does not exist - it is a lie spread by biology teachers - along with everything else you have ever been told.
- Men are supposed to lie with nine new partners a week. Women are supposed to lie with six, except for in July, when they must lie with five men a day.
- Aliens exist and are present on earth. If you have a birth mark, you may be descended from Kraff, the famous Emperor of the 4th Paradigm.
- Trees talk, but only some people hear them.
- People who believe in something live much longer than atheists, and they have eternal life thrown in for good measure.
- If you believe this and turn you hands and wallet over to EPSILONISM, you’ll live a happy life. Otherwise you are doomed.
- KIFFLOM - HAPPINESS IS YOURS! KIFFLOM!
Uh - anyway - I didn't say anything about "ghosts and goblins, aliensbigfootlochness" and I pointed out that a god doesn't have to exist. Giving the examples of Frodo Baggins and the Shinto goddess Amaterasu. Many of the Shinto gods were fictional creations concocted to instruct Japanes youth in the royally commissioned Nihongi and Kojiki. They weren't presented as literal existing. It's like the gods of luck.

That isn't true, and it doesn't even make sense. Atheism is the theological belief that God and gods don't exist. It's irrelevant because they (gods) don't have to exist, many gods I've just proven to exist and uh, there was something else but I've forgotten what it was. Oh, saying they are unconvinced is only saying they are idiots, and God knows we wouldn't want to do that.

maybe try asking a few actual people who actually call themselves atheists
they will tell you that their atheism is definitely not a CLAIM that no possible definitions of god(s) could ever qualify as extant
it is simply a lack of belief in any specific god that cares about what humans do
for example
spinoza wrote a logical proof of god and spinoza's god certainly exists by definition alone
but since spinoza's definition of god didn't match the general common colloquial definition of YHWH
he was declared an atheist
because he didn't believe in the "one-true-god"

@3RU7AL
ok, you win because atheists don't believe in anything or anyoneWTF
If only it were that simple.
Q: What is a god?
A: Something or someone venrated.
Q: Then everything is a god?
A: No, anything can be a god. Like anything can be hated or loved. That doesn't mean everything is hated and loved.
I don't believe in Zeus, don't believe he existed don't worship him. Zeus is a god. Although, as I mentioned, Zeus was also a title for Roman rulers. Like Pharaohs. Pharaohs were gods. Do atheists believe or lack belief in Pharaohs?

you've got to be joking
There are two assertions most atheists make.
1) The Burden of Proof is on the Theist.
2) Assertion number 1 is not an assertion.

It's what you do with your IQ that counts. Adragon De Mello had an IQ of 400. He graduated from the University of California, Santa Cruz with a degree in computational mathematics in 1988, at age 11. At the time, he was the youngest college graduate in U.S. history. He accomplished nothing afterwards.
In 2000, De Mello was training to be an estimator for a commercial painting company
I am raising my estimate of Best.Korea's IQ to 195.

Still spouting irrelevancy to Athesim topic. Running from truth, logical common sense and critical thinking.
No. Not at all. Might as well ask the cat. But, hey, "Your not familiar with such apparrently?" Good Job! That's worse than me.
More irrelevancy. Running from truth, logical common sense and critical thinking.
[Sigh] Alright.
Falsehood ---intention or not--- may be fine with you. Not me. Same goes for irrelevancy, at some point, sincerity of intellectual integrity needs to prevail, or so I would think most mature rational adults would engage in.
You want to turn theology into science or science into theology? The sun will eventually do what? How could you create naught or destroy naught? Nuclear explosions? Energy, Bob. Matter.
Empirical evidence { science } stems from observation, instrumental and other. If observational evidence is not for you, so be it. Good luck with that on the question of Atheism etc God related questions.
I don't see the relevance of your observations.
Thats because you comment above makes clear, empirical evidence from observations is not your priority in regards to questions regarding atheism.
Your thread, you can be as illogical, with no common sense or critical thinking all you want. However, it is a public forum, ergo, face the truths in regards to atheism or run from them --as you do-- as Ive presented them. Your intellectual integrity --if not also other-- is in jeopardy, not mine.
