I understand all the poor answers. They all could only say the same thing. Santa, tooth fairy and so on ALL know is bull, but when the word God comes up all the atheist make that a subject. ((( HEY, I'm not goin to believe so I can do all I want to do here on earth, and not think twice about when I die I will burn for all eternity ))) By there being no God, HA now there's no hell, WO that was close. They know there is because of all the wickedness they live by. The funniest thing is when a atheist is in a desperate situation like dying or bein shot at or lose a job or someone they love is dyin then all of the sudden its ""Please God Help Me"" All u atheist laugh thats cool, you would never do that would u? Remember this ques and ans when u end up doin it

I understand what you are trying to say. You are trying to say that in order to not believe in God, then there must be some type of God out there. That argument is based upon the supposition that Atheists are actually saying that they will not follow God.
I would clarify that by saying that they do not believe in God's (or any Gods) existence. Since they do not believe in the existence of a god, then the belief statement that they will not follow a god is not required, as it is a logical extension of the previous argument.

"whilst i exchange right into a baby I spoke as a baby I understood as a baby i assumed as a baby; yet when I grew to become a guy I placed away infantile issues." I Cor. xiii. 11. Why is it so no longer undemanding which you will stay with the concept that people have faith in yet in a distinctive thank you to your self? Are you yet yet another that has deserted christianity and the perception in a loving god for the excitement of being anti atheist and indulging in all that undesirable human emotion against your fellow guy? What do you people call your new faith?

No. I don't believe in the boogie-man, but that doesn't mean there is one in which not to believe, nor that there was ever one in which not to believe.
The problem with atheists saying they don't believe in God is that they deny the thing that is most incontrovertible in the world since it is written on their hearts and they are, in fact, saying they don't believe what, at the deepest core of every man, everyone knows and has always known to be true.

Which god are you talking about though? I don't believe in any god or gods, how is saying that the same as acknowledging them? It's acknowledging that the fictitious beings exist in the imaginations of people who believe in them, sure, but it's not saying "Oh yeah, they exist, I just don't believe in them."
Seems like you're just arguing semantics.

The question makes no sense. Atheists don't believe in ANY gods or God. Simply saying the word "god" doesn't mean they're acknowledging Him. When those of us with faith say God, yes, we're acknowledging Him.
Stop making the rest of us with faith look like idiots, please.

Yes, it's true, most athiests define themselves in terms of God. Much of their writing has to do with how they don't need God and how believers are dumb or frightened or less evolved than they.
I have always had a problem with a group which defines itself in terms of another group. What positive things do athiests have to contribute?

If i say i don't believe in fairies, it does not mean i know they exist, but i choose not to accept the fact that they exist. It means, i don't believe in the existence of fairies. You are reading it wrong.
Don't ask silly questions by twisting logic, you know what atheist mean when they say "I don't believe in God".

Nope, sorry. I lack belief that any god/s exist. I also lack belief that any ghosts, flying monkeys, or fairies exist. Playing with the semantics in an attempt to say that using the word "god" points to belief in its existence is illogical.

Nope, it doesn't work that way. Read Bertrand Russell or W.V.O. Quine. All we're asserting is the existence of an uninstantiated property (Godliness), which in no way commits us to an object having that property.
Essentially, the statement can be reworded as "For all objects that exist, none of them exhibit the property of Godliness"
