Default Re: Question For Atheists

[ QUOTE ]
Can you still call yourself an athiest if you think that it is quite possible that our universe was created by a non omnipotent being from another dimension.

[/ QUOTE ]

Atheists claim/think it is rather unlikely (impossible) that some omni-potent creature is ruling the universe. That doesn't say anything about non-omnipotent creatures.

It all depends on the definition of god I guess. If god stands for an omnipotent creature (and I assume it does), then one can still be an atheist.

It's like in the Wizard of Oz. The fake image was what people accepted as "the wizard". The guy behind the curtain who was really responsible for all of the "miracles", was just a "cheater".
