what do you get if ...
... you cross a dyslexic insomniac with an agnostic philosopher?
Answer: Someone who will stay up all night wondering whether or not there is a dog...
So you think you're an atheist, do you? Ok, do this simple little process:
[1] No god? If you agree, goto [2]. (If you don't agree, you're not an atheist.)
[2] Define god, then goto [3]
[3] Why did you limit your definition of god thus? If you wish to redefine god, goto [2], otherwise, goto [4]
[4] Post your responses to [2] and [3] in the comments below.
Good luck... :-)

Esque, given the definition you offer, are you saying that you believe such a god exists, or are you saying that god as defined thus does not exist?
Esque, you're being cute. Stop it please. The algorithm is aimed at atheists i.e. those who believe that god does NOT exist.
If you claim that god exists, or could exist, under your definition, then you're not an atheist and the algrithm does not apply to you. There are no trick questions.
By the way, readers who have not read this post and the comments therto, are well advised to do so before commenting.
Thanks, Link. Interesting that you mention Philip Adams. It's skeptics of his ilk who eventually caused me to cotton on to what was really goin' down in their little religious cult called The Church Of True Believers In The Non-existence Of God.
And yes, they are fundamentalist bigots, and they are pompous, and they are arrogant. They are not true skeptics (maintaining a position of open-mindedness), they are supercillious pseudo-scientific sophists.
Oh, by the way, Link, did I tell you I had a wee philosophical issue with them? :-)
So, that is your response to a genuine question? Consider. Would the principle of god exist if there were no human beings? Would the universe exist if there were no thought.
Davo, does a turd have buddha nature?
Who made up God in the first place?
Who named God, God?
JT, there's actually a really long and involved answer to that. I'm just not going to go there. To heavy for me for today. :-(
