We are ALL atheists, some just a little bit more than others...

[cleanhippie]

So stop being a hater. You ARE an atheist when it comes to the god(s) you don't believe in (and there are thousands of them).

1. None of my Christian buddies ever could get into ...

that Vishnu guy, or Mars, or Thor, or any of them.

Seems like their high school textbooks all told them that those gods were only "myths"

So my Christian friends were mostly 99% or more atheists

2. What if I believe in them all?

Not only that, but there are at last count over 7 billion gods on the planet, and I believe in them all too.

I know it's hard work, but somebody has to do it...

3. I guess the exeption proves the rule.

7. What about

other animals, shrooms, plants, bacteria etc., all other sentient beings - do you blasphemously deny their Divinity, you heretic 99,999% atheist!!!

8. Do I look like some kind of speciesist to you?

In fact, I'll go one better: even (especially?) subatomic particles are divine. That's why E=MC^2 works - it's the release of divine energy.

Don't make the mistake of thinking I'm serious.
But also, don't make the mistake of thinking I'm joking...

9. I've always interpreted "atheist" as a broader term

To be an "atheist" means that you don't believe in any gods. If you believe in at least one, but not others, than you're not an a-theist at all. You can be a non-believer with regard to specific, individual gods, but I don't think "atheist" is the best term to apply on a god-by-god basis.

10. Ask any two atheists what "atheist" means and you're bound to get at least two definitions. n/t

11. Oh, I agree with you.

Just trying to give a bit of perspective to our theists comrades.
