You all are a bunch of ideologues. You don't believe in Santa Claus or the Great Flying Spaghetti Monster. See how ridiculous that argument is?
Sure it does High Priest Stu!! The belief in a God (or Gods) came 1st. Then came the belief there is no God (or Gods). So the belief there is no God is a derivative of the belief in God.
Santa Claus and the Great Flying Spaghetti Monster may exist in an alternate universe. Perhaps all of what we consider imagination are impressions of alternate existences in the infinity of countless multi-verses...... You know - like the way they theorize that gravity might actually be as strong as electromagnetism, but part of it's strength is leaking out of our 4-dimensional universe.... Maybe the concept of Batman and Santa Claus and the Flying Spaghetti Monster leaked in from theirs to ours.... Don't forget BINGO Night!!!!!
I'm starting weekly meetings dedicated to the ideology that little green aliens don't control our thoughts. I expect the meetings to be packed.
As I said, Atheism is a derivative of Theism. You can't have non-belief until you have a belief first. So Atheism is a belief that is counter to the original belief that there is a God. BINGO Night?
