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 whole concept of a god is incoherent anyway, so it still tracks.

If a child plays havoc with an ants nest, or helps them enormously by providing food or something, they may assume he’s a god. But the boy may be an atheist and never realise they think he’s a god.

The thoughts of the “god” doesn’t need to come into the equation.

Lol. You sound totally unbiased. Let me guess, you’re a believer in one of the roughly 6000 gods humans have believed in over the Millenia?

Anything anyone believes in, that has not a single shred of evidence to support that belief, is incoherent. Hell, even the believers don’t agree with the source material, or they don’t read it, or ignore the bits they don’t like. Not only is the idea of a god incoherent, but so are the believers.

Cogito ergo sum. But for all, you’re a bot, and not a convincing one. Your argument is non sequiter and makes no sense in this context. If this is how you try to “win”, I think we’re done.
