Of all of the religions ever to exist, it's hardly worth asking any one of them what their definition of " God" is, as the reply will generally be from a supernatural perspective borne from the ideas and writings of ordinary humans....that's if they can provide a definition at all.

IMO, you'd be far better off asking a rabbit it's definition of God.
When it fails to reply, you might then think it wiser to just watch the rabbit and see what the rabbit thinks God is.

The past lot of posts only serves to fortify my idea of what God might say.
I reckon God might say something like:

"You see? It's a competition!
I gave you all eyes and ears and only a meagre percentage of you know what planet I've placed you all on!"

I'm not able to dictate what you might think God would say, 'cause I'm an athiest and therefore not religious.

Gee, didn't you understand the transcript yourself?

That's great that God has become an athiest, because God is a personal human idea that ought not to be thrust onto the ideas of others. Take it or leave it.

Did Dawkins ever assume himself as being "God" or "Godlike" in nature?
Well of course he didn't.

Did you not comprehend that the writer of the sarcastic remark was in fact assuming himself (most probably a him) as speaking for God, and therefore assuming himself as being God?

Hmmm...swoosh

Religion requires faith... God cannot be religious because, like the Buddhist who's reached enlightenment is beyond 'Buddhism', 'God' is beyond faith.

No faith.. No religion.

Actually, you're both right. There is obviously a religion around atheism(where else but in the USA?), however it obviously doesn't include all atheists.  Wow -  4840 ministers ordained!


Here is a parallel:

Women get pregnant: True - but that is not a general statement about all women.

Atheists are religious: True, but that applies to an even smaller proportion of the whole.  

End of story. Nothing to see here folks. Let's move on.

Atheism is a pretty meaningless term because it expresses a lack of belief in something that is pretty meaningless to just about all atheists (ie divinities).

The Atheist Motto: "You call it God, and I will not believe in it on principle,  regardless of what you think it is supposed to be"

It's at that stage that I talk about my mass psycho-social phenomenon that I call God.  The problem with that one, is that I can prove that it exists.  The term atheist is therefore ... not very good when applied generally to all gods.
