If you call God stupid or if you say that you don't believe in God (not gods), you would be acknowledging Him there.I don't understand. Do those some hate God, the actual belief, or the people. Just a harmless question which probably asks for harmful answers.

Did I ask you to become a Christian? Did I say I wanted to convert you? I merely want answers to the questions I present. Not dumb remarks... thank you.

I believe in many Gods And of course the Goddess.
So i would only say There God, in reference to what they were talking about..
Its like saying..
Bev said, John walked down the street..
I would answer why did John walk down the street.
You say But you acknowledge John..
Of course i would Acknowledge him.. communication.
.. you were speaking about him. so in order for me to speak about him i would need to say the persons or beings Name.
Would i?

before I answer this question I need to point out that I actually believe in God.
First of all they are not acknowledging him/her in any way, however they are acknowledging the idea or belief in God. To better answer this question I will use a fictional person lets say Santa Clause. If I were to say Santa Clause needs to go on a diet or something like that I'm still not saying he exsists. I am just making fun of the idea of Santa Clause.
Now with God it's the same concept except ussually meaning to be harsh instead of playfull or sometimes even thought provoking. See the truth is although they don't believe in God they understand that somepeople do. So they are not acknowledging God, but istead the idea of God.

Harmful answers?? Not at all. A disbelief in god is really simply a disbelief in the notion of any and all gods. We tend to say 'god' when we may mean 'gods' because we come from a monotheistic culture and not a pantheistic one. For this reason we tend to use the singular rather than the plural.
None of those who you are mentioning 'hate god'. If they hate at all, they hate the people who are so mind-numbingly arrogant that they think they are the only ones who know the truth and then attempt to convert the world accordingly. They hate the way that arrogance has been used historically and presently to wage war, dominate societies and do great harm.
So as to your main question, no. Those who dont believe in god(s) are not acknowledging his/its/their existance at all, they are denying it. If you believe otherwise, you are once again fooling yourself.

If you call the Invisible Pink Unicorn stupid or if you say that you don't believe in the Invisible Pink Unicorn (not unicorns), you would be acknowledging Him there.I don't understand. Do those some hate the Invisible Pink Unicorn, the actual belief, or the people. Just a harmless question which probably asks for harmful answers.

Stupid argument. Denying God does not acknowledge Him any more than disputing the existence of Bigfoot verifies its existence. It is well known that humans can conceive of, describe, and even discuss things which they know to be imaginary.
You're not half as clever as you think and are doing nothing to improve the image of believers, kid. Leave philosophy to the educated.

Yes its acknowledgement to a referral of a god seen by those who seek convertion however if their belief in god was so sound why are their contractions in the bible

So if I say I don't believe in fairies I am acknowledging the existence of fairies? Or is it only if I say I don't believe in The Tooth Fairy?
What you said makes no sense, it is completely irrational. It is a false premise, therefore your conclusion is invalid.
I have never called God stupid...he doesn't exist. Some people who beliieve in him are stupid, and I think it is a stupid thing to believe in. It would be as pointless as calling the Loch Ness Monster stupid.

Of course, it does nothing of the sort. If I deny the existence of a unicorn, does that give it existence, other than in imagination? To deny the existence of god is no different. I do not hate god, I just don't believe that there is such a thing, and can prove that it is useless to do so.

There is God conciousness. A belief does not necessarily always equate to reality. You can not prove nothing. No evidence is needed to cancel out an idea. Think. Slowly.

In a sense, there is some truth to it. When atheists deny believing in God, some, if not many of them will become abnormally flustered about it.
I think the best example of this is "Satanists". They claim not to believe in either God nor Satan, and yet there it is right in their name. Also, there is a large section of atheists who get enjoyment out of irritating/angering/depressing christians only for the sake of doing so.
