You deny the existence of Thor and all the other gods. I do too, but I deny the existence of just 1 god more than you do.

Ahahahahahaha! I love that!
Except Crom - the god that Conan the Barbarian worshipped - he's real.

No, because we are all ingrained with some type of spirituality. How you find that need to have it fulfilled is another matter. There is only ONE true God. His name is Jehovah. All the rest are considered gods or godlike. Most gods are made of wood, plaster, gold, silver etc. and other man made materials plus are made in the image of what certain men carved or shaped them out to be. The true God is a spirit, therefore no one has ever seen the true God and couldn't possible live even if they did. You need to search for the true God in the pages of the Bible, not through myths and legends. So to answer your question, no not all of us are atheists, just people who haven't gotten to know the true God, Jehovah. Incidentally, Jesus is referred to as a "mighty god, as well as Satan is referred to as the "god of this system of things. So, two spirit creatures are known as godlike, but still are not the TRUE God, Jehovah. Jehovah is described as the "Almighty." Both Jesus and Satan were created by Jehovah. Otherwise neither would have come into existence.

Sorry, no. By definition and atheist is one who disbelieves or denies the existance of God or gods. If a person believes in or even acknowledges the existance of either of the above than they are not an atheist.

I think atheism is more about denying that there is any god, not just denying some. So, if you believe in any god, you are not an atheist. Thor is probably more believable than Jesus any day to me, though.

I don't deny the existence of Thor! I figure if 90% of the world believes in some god or another, they're all equally valid!

Atheism is denying the existence of God or gods. If you believe in a God or gods, the you are not an atheist.

any one who wants to be totally logical about it should be "agnostic" at best. until you can prove that there are no gods, or god, then you have no right to tell anyone how to live, the same way any religious person shold not tell anyone else how to live. its so funny that people are offended by being told what they should believe, and then they turn around and do the exact same thing.
the absence of evidence is not the evidence of absence. i've never seen a million dollars. prove to me it exists. you cant. unless you put it in my hands, i dont need to agree that its real. well, that doesnt mean it isnt real. so, even though theres not solid physical proof of god existing, doesnt mean that he doesnt exist.
by the same token, a book, like the quran or the bible doesnt prove that something exists either. as you stated, not too many people believe in odin and thor, or zeus and apollo, but theres plenty of books about them. i read a book about some green eggs and ham once, but that doesnt make it real.
we just need to learn to accept that theres more than just one way to live, and we'd be better off if we'd all just back off and let each other have our own thoughts.

An atheist believes in the existence of NO god what-so-ever. I'm not an atheist because I believe in a God.I deny the existence of ALL gods but ONE.

I know a guy named Thor...god I hate him! And why the fu*k does it matter if people are atheists? I may be christian but honestly it's not my first priority to find proof of there being a god of any type or name. Religion is just something people came up with to discriminate others.

God is just another fake creation by man.
Humanity has created many Gods, for example – Gods of Olympus, Ancient Egypt, Babylon and so on. Most of us are atheists about most Gods humanity has created, except the latest craze, the current God in the Bible. Learned atheists have also rejected this version of a God, but some hard-core believers still hang on, presumably until a better image of God is created by man.
Faith in God seems to be nothing more than humans attempting to run away from reality, an excuse to avoid thinking and evaluating evidence. Faith is just an emotional escape and really just a substitute for opening your eyes to reason.
Believers talk about God creating man in his own image. It’s in the Bible so it’s fact – get a grip, get real. The facts suggest the exact opposite. Man created God in his own image. I’m sure humanity will disregard this God, as they have disregarded all previous Gods, it’s just a matter of time before humanity creates another God that better serves their emotions and image.

Atheism is the lack of belief of any God. So denying other gods do not make you an atheist. But denying all gods does.
