Re: Question For Atheists
Yes, athiest means you believe in a God and you follow him closely. Merely admitting there's a greater being does not mean you're religious.

Worship is morally irresponsible. [/ QUOTE ] Boy, am I glad you showed up. I was having trouble being clear about why DS was drawing too wide of a circle with his - "I think many religious peole didn't realize that atheists actually feel this way " There are many routes to atheism, the stronger ones are not based on the lack of evidence for theism ( which is valid but merely a rebuttal approach) but are based on various philosophical grounds that make a belief in a deity impossible ( or in some cases it's existance totally irrelevant). To be fair to DS, he was making a different point.

Re: Question For Atheists
Allow me to suppose for a second it's still a line. [img]/images/graemlins/cool.gif[/img]
In this case atheism is compatable with the scenario, because at issue is the origin of the "general mish-mash" and not any universe or dimension. If you in a science expirement created a 2D dimension, I doubt this would force you to believe that you are in fact God. The circle: I'm not sure what the hell you're talking about with this one. As far as I can figure, at some point to complete the circle, the following would have to be true: universe A created universe B. universe B created universe A. note: if universe A and B simultaneously created each other, you in effect only have one universe at the top of the chain. I think this paradox is much like the pre big bang singularity in that it is unexplainable, but not inconsistent with an atheist's beliefs.

Re: Question For Atheists
So atheism is the belief that there may or may not be a god?

Re: Question For Atheists
Can you still call yourself a poker player if you think it's possible that every time you sit down to play poker a higher dimensional being freezes our perceived dimension of time takes your place at the table to play and imprints your brain with false memories afterwards?
