So true.
Also, with the same reasoning (I think... correct me if I'm wrong), since a being can only be moral if there's a superior being from where morality comes, God is immoral.
A point of curiosity: how exactly do you know what the one-god thinks or believes?
And I'm assuming you're talking about the one-god of the Bible-based religions, because the statement makes a lot less sense from other theological points of view.

That is So cleaver ...

I'm not sure either but this an interesting point.
His statement is basically applicable to every type of Theism except for Polytheism, and Henotheism.

In correct. God is not an atheist.
God has confidence so he believes in himself

That is pretty clever as well. Congrats.
Naw, there's more of them it doesn't apply to than those. It only applies to theism that posits:
- That there is only one god; gods creating other gods is extremely commonplace in non-monotheistic theologies.
- That "creation" and "creator" are distinctly separate; god is transcendent or fully separate from the world/creation rather than immanent or synonymous with the world/creation.
- That god is personified and assumed to think in human terms; it is not necessarily the case that god "believes" anything.
So yeah. With that, it basically only applies to classical monotheism: a personal, one-god creator that is distinctly separate from the world. It doesn't apply to polytheism, it doesn't apply to pantheism, nor panentheism, nor deism, nor animism, nor duotheism, nor henotheism, nor monolatry. And I might be missing a few in here somewhere.

Duh.
So the term atheist requires no belief in Something Greater?
Ok.
If God cannot belief in Something Greater than Himself......atheist.

Your logic is truly phenomenal.
God might be an agnostic. We don't know where the heck s/he came from, why assume s/he does?
S/he could be right now posting on the divine version of RF, stating that s/he's pretty sure s/he was created, since nothing is eternal, and some jerkoff from a different pantheon is giving him/her the whole 'We sit OUTSIDE the universe line'. Don't buy it, God, you stick fat with your beliefs.
Sidenote, I'm using s/he to show solidarity against the oppression of using male language to describe non-male/female roles. Frankly, it's a pain in the ****, and it makes the sentence even more awkward to read than my lack of writing ability does. I'm going back to being a misogynist. Sorry!

Looks like I was wrong. I forgot about all those other forms of Theism. I guess this really only applies to the Monotheistic idea of God then.

Which God? Zeus the father of the gods was certainly created from a more primal god. The same goes for many chief gods and pantheons of major civilizations in antiquity who's gods are actually a younger generation of gods who rebelled against and overthrew the elder gods.
