Is God an Atheist?

Don't judge me for being a redneck. That fact doesn't stop me from being a die-hard Christian. ~redneckbadger91

If theism is the belief in a creator, or first cause, who is ultimately responsible for one's own existence, then God is an atheist. He believes himself to have existed eternally -- though, as Kant suggested, even God must occassionally wonder where he came from.

God does not wonder where he came from, since he will not die, only mortal creatures wonder from where they come and where they are going.

So this argument fails.

I don't understand what's wrong with it? Seriously could you explain it to me because I'm taking a logic class now so this crap interests me.

1. P--->V
2. F--->P
Therefore, F--->V 1,2,H.S.

1. F--->V
2. T--->F
Therefore, T--->V 1,2,H.S.

I don't know what is your assignment that your teacher purpose here,but it does have(stating the obvious) a minor,major premise and a conclusion.Is this a hypothetical question that you are asking or formal?Are you asking me to match up or conclude that it is not a predicate calculus?:confused:

Welcome to the dark ages.


EDIT - CG, if you really believe those two statements then would you mind if I add them to my sig?
 
That statement does not apply to them because they go around and bash God and offend other people of other faiths who do believe in God.

Woah. I've never seen a Christian say that he shouldn't treat all people in a loving way. I HAVE seen a Christian say that Moses's laws do not apply to a Christian.

Okay, is it possible for God to believe that something greater than Him exists? Why doesn't He have all the same questions we do ("Why do I exist?" "What created me?" etc.)?

Who has told you that this is part of Catholic doctrine? Or did you arrive at these opinions by yourself? Because both of these statements are shockingly at odds with Catholic thought, not to mention with humanist thought.
 
A valid question, If god doesnt believe that no one is above him, why should human believe in some similar fictional character ?? Its a catch 22.

I dont know, I am just confused on what to say. I did not arrived at these options by myself, it was just an ouburst of anger whenever I am confrunted. :blush:
 
Beings worship the highest being possible. (Important to note: Not simply the being above them in the ladder, but the highest being, always. This is why we don't worship angels.) God is the highest being possible. Thus, God does not worship anyone but himself. (Also to note: Worship is the wrong word in this case.)

There is no catch-22.

Ah. No great worries, then. Just take a deep breath and stop posting for a few minutes. :)

In fact, you might want to just stop posting in this thread, because the topic is, as cgannon observed, quite ridiculous.

Sounds like a person who is fond of the heirarchy.
If God does not worship anyone but himself,is that a risk of saying he is an athiest?Example of the case of an athiest person who worship nobody but himself.Is that saying that the atheist is the true person who follows the footstep of God.I hope i am not offending you,my impression that you are a religious person.:)
 
An atheist: one who does not believe any higher power exists.
God: the highest power.

Would it make sense for God to believe that a higher power than Him exists? Obviously not. Does that mean He satisfies the definition of "atheist"? Yes. Is this meaningful, non-trivial, or the slightest bit relevant to anything? No. End of topic.

If your logic is correct then there is indeed no catch-22. If "god does not worship anyone but himself", then he would be classified as an atheist.

Even granting that 'worship' is the wrong word in this case, god still does not believe in a higher power, and would thus be an atheist on that basis as well.

No, but it's fun. Well, for most of us. :mischief:

:hatsoff:.
 
I don't get this whole thing either:

atheist: One who denies the existence of a god or gods.

How is god, then, an atheist, unless he doesn't think he exists?

Yeah, that pretty much sums it up for me.

Sorry, this is not obvious to me.

God is logically limited (for example, he cannot be Evil or do Evil acts). Why cannot there be a greater 'god' that created "God" that is unbound by these logical limitations?
