the definition of athiest is someone who doesn't believe in a higher power

What a ridiculous question. And it's more like Christ, not more like God. Christ is the Person of God who took on human form and lived on the Earth, setting the example for us to emulate. I don't emulate Him perfectly but He HAS taught me to think of someone like you as a lost brother rather than an annoying little twit. I do pray that He will open your eyes to the truth before it's too late.
By the way, why do you make such a big show of being an atheist when you don't even know the correct definition or spellling of the word "atheist?" Are you just crying for people's attention? Why not try to earn their respect instead? It's just as easy, once you get the hang of it, and the payoff is incredible.
Blessings to you, brother!

I understand what you are saying.
However, it is my preference to believe that although I am the logical decision maker in my life, there is something greater than I am that created the all and the everything.
It's okay not to believe in anything greater than myself. It is also possible that to trust in myself as the highest power that rules my life is to deny the wisdom of that which has created me.
The difference for me is that there aren't millions of God's, but there are millions of people.
Peace!

God does not worship anything or anyone, He is The one & true God. The creator, The Father, The all powerful Spirit.

God believes in Himself.
"And God spake all these words, saying,
I am the LORD thy God, which have brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage.
Thou shalt have no other gods before me.
Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth.
Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the LORD thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me;"
Exodus 20:1-5
That was too easy, Hayden. By the way, God doesn't believe in Atheists.

I am amazed at how retarded these people can be at not understanding the irony that there is that god, as defined by them, is without a creator, so he's an Atheist in terms of how he came to be (something from nothing).

Yahweh is the only true God in existence. He can not be bound by our tiny minds and definitions.
Yes, we are supposed to strive to be like Him, and our failure to even come close demonstrates our need for a Savior.

TYPICAL FOOLISH QUESTION COMING FROM A CLOSED-MINDED ATHEIST. NOT REALIZING WHO OR WHAT GOD IS. A basic dictionary definition would have told you that God is a SUPREME being. That means there is nothing greater. A child can comprehend this basic reality which escapes you. God help you because you are so lost God is the only one who can help you.

Atheism actually is the thought a god would not exist. (a- no, with out. theism is from the Greek theos, meaning god) hence an atheist would not have faith in a god. even with the undeniable fact that, somebody may well be an atheist and have faith that there is a organic order to the universe. a good occasion of one of those factor is the assumption of the emblems in historical stoic philosophy that's the assumption of an lively stress of reason and a regulation of varieties that exists interior the universe. additionally, i've got faith that some Buddhists are technically seen atheists due the to loss of a private deity in maximum forms of Buddhism. Buddhists incredibly have faith in a style of better ability.
