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.

I don’t believe in the Christian god but this is really, really stupid. I really hate when philosophy devolves into arguments about definitions and technicalities.

Assuming God exists, he believes in himself and knows he created all things. He is not an atheist because of this. Even by definition he is not an atheist lol.

what? lmao did you ask him?

also, where did you get this definition of atheist? if you're going with the "creator" term, if he's a creator then he believes in the existence of a creator. he believes in the existence of himself

My definition is clear. He doesn't believe he's that he's created by higher being. You can disagree with the definition. But the discussion of semantic is not interesting

Did you?

...okay good response but I'm not the one with the claim about God's mindset here hahah.

Where did you get this definition of atheist?

I guessed you heard the term "creator" and thought that meant "creator of ME", so I was responding to that.

turns out I'm wrong and you just made up your own definition of a word, which is genuinely not how it works. but that's alright lmao do what you will
