Thanks for asking. No, not the last time I checked.

Define "believe" and "God"?

Believe would likely mean; think the entity is real.

I would also think, for the purpose of this site, the God that Christian theology describes.

Oh, if that's what the OP meant then I'd have to say: "No, they don't." If the OP meant something else it would be helpful to know what those words meant to him.

I don't believe you. All atheists like Hollywood mad scientist who don't have higher honesty and you capitalised 'I' so you think you're I Am Who I Am.

Typical of what I've decided to expect.

Believe is accepting Christ, God is I Am Who I Am.

I can't be clearer than that.

Is the "believe" in the above post the same sort of "believe in" as in the OP?

Can you define "accepting Christ"?

I can't be clearer than that.

Well actually you could have been clearer in the OP or people wouldn't have had to ask you what you meant.
tulc(hopes that's clear)

This whole thread is tongue in cheek.

Please don't take it very seriously.

Define God ;-)

 

[Nithavela]

Yes.

No, they believe in a godless universe.

Do you have any thoughts on having any thoughts?

I'm just interested in debate.

But I did see an atheist scientist on a documentary called 'God's not dead' made by Hercules who actually did believe in God in spite of his atheism.

Case closed.

Why do you capitalize the word God? Do atheists secretly believe in God because they do that?

Any thoughts?

I'll put it this way:

I know that many children create an imaginary friend. Who is caring, and loyal, and provides companionship, security, and a sense that they're not alone. I think that god-beliefs are grown-up, expanded, culturally accepted versions of the same thing.

It's actually an interesting question. I consider atheism and pantheism two sides of the same coin, and there was a time there for a while when which I would describe myself as depended on my mood. I've seen other people identify as atheists who were closer to pantheists as well.

Believe would likely mean; think the entity is real.

It's probably worth asking precisely what Christian theology describes! I was amused when I read the New Testament and realized that Paul was as panentheistic as I was. So much for anthropomorphism!
