The greatest thing the devil ever did was made people think he didn't exist.
Maybe God tried the same tactic?

Meh all I know is video killed the radio star

Or as a dyslexic might see ... "Where is the dog?"

hmm can atheism be classified as a religion as well?

It is a religious belief, yes. If you are convinced that the cosmos exists merely because something has to and that random cataclysmic events occurred billions of years ago that have coincidentally created the planet we live on and the life abundant here.

Atheism is the name given to the true conviction that there are no greater powers but the forces we observe such as gravity and radiation.

As an atheist, I do not want to be associated with any soft cocks who feel compelled to put the word "probably" into a statement proclaiming the nonexistence of a god.

Yes, I had to smile when the guy was on tv the other night - definitely sounding like he wanted "a bob each way", just in case.
Have the courage of your convictions!!

I always tick other and don't specify or put mediterranean, must piss em right off. If I get people telling me I'm Pakeha I politely correct them.

As for religion I like to kid people that I'm wican. It scares hell out of em.

But the word "probably" is the only way to avoid being placed in the same category as those who, equally stridently, proclaim the existence of a god: that is, a devout believer. The fact that your belief is diametrically opposed to theirs, and is based on quite different arguments, is irrelevant; it is still a faith, as opposed to a scientific theory (i.e. it is not falsifiable).
The only satisfactory position is pure scepticism: doubt is always better than faith.

At this point I think it best, after stating that the existence of a god is falsifiable, to draw attention to the Scottish Thread. Any comprehensive discussion about the existence or otherwise of a god is best discussed there, rather than in this thread whose purpose is to discuss what people may want to pay to have displayed on the sides of buses.
