Everyone on RF is really an atheist.

[Willamena]

There are non-believers who don't lack belief in any god(s)?

Generally known as agnostics, but more specifically agnostic atheists.

A lot of polytheists so far, I don't think we've heard from a monotheist.

I'm monotheistic...lol. As is every Christian that has posted.lol

Makes sense to me. Why would there be several all-powerful Gods, why not just one?

Like Pepsi and Coke. More or less the same thing under different names.

I happen to like Pepsi, but I won't choose Coke if I can help it. But enough with the controversial matters

I don't dispute that an all-powerful God could (and probably would) manifest in various aspects and cultures. But even in real world history, not all Gods are all-powerful. Or, for that matter, consistent with themselves (even Christians often comment on how different the God of the Jewish scriptures is from that of the Gospels).

I feel that in actual practice one would eventually need to make arbitrary calls on how "real" (for lack of a better word) divinities are. There are living people that claim to be aspects of deities to this day - one of them, a Brazilian named Inri Cristo.

Oh I see. That nonsense again. Gotcha.

...with regard to one God or another. You know EXACTLY what it is like to be an atheist because that is your attitude toward conceptions of God you disagree with. If someone came up to a Christian, or a Jew, or a Muslim in this forum and proposed that Zeus ruled the earth, none of you would have any problem coming up with excellent arguments as to why it makes no sense that Zeus exists. When it comes to Zeus, you think like an atheist.

Do you agree? Disagree?

Ah.... Good point. That's a new argument I can use if anyone ever says they don't understand what it would be like to be an atheist or they don't understand how they would think. (even though off and on I'm a slight animist.)
