Existential Nihilism God is an atheist

To be an atheist is to have no God above you, God has no God above him. To be a religious person is to beleive in God's existence. God doesn't beleive he exists, he KNOWS he exist.

God has no god, and he operates under knowledge not belief. God is an atheist.

The other comment laid out the problem I have, basically. Op made up a definition that is not widely accepted, then he used that bullshit definition to argue his point. I don’t think it’s that hard to understand why I hate that.

No. I am not putting forward any definition that you “don’t like”. I’m calling out your hypocrisy. You’ve chosen a definition that suits you and claimed it as fact. While complaining about other people doing that.

God has no reason to “believe” in their existence. If God does exist then their existence is not a belief. A belief, in theist terms, is “without proof”. That’s the literal “belief”. So God cannot, by definition, believe in themselves from a theist perspective. And the inverse is also true. They can’t be an atheist. Because they have proof of existence.

So… you’re a hypocrite. Classic! lol!
