hello all- nice forum.i have been contemplating a fade for a while, and i have been reading various sites such as this one.

i have seen all kinds of things that have made me think.

but something came to mind lately, and i wanted to throw it out there-satan was cast down to the earth, and he is supposedly the cause of all imperfection.

I can't speak for Satan, or any other God other than One. However, you are on the correct line of reasoning.
An allegory to explain this another way.
There are 2 aspects of the Earth :
Light - Light equates to Wisdom,Truth,Love
Darkness - Darkness equates to Chaos,Pride,Evil
In this Scenario, God is the Light Bearer, and all else is Darkness.
When God fixes his attention on the affairs of earth, matters improve and Life draws closer to Perfection. When for any reason God Turns this Light away from the Earth, matters worsen, Evil increases, and Overall Chaos ensues.
Suppose that the natural order of the Earth is Darkness, the situation only improves.
This is Illustrated in the Bible when it is Said that God turns his face away from a People, or his presence is removed.

i have not meet all atheists, and it would be foolish for me to assume that all atheists, share the same prototypical view points.

i am inclined to feel that this classifies the views of a large percentage of atheists.

"atheism is, in a broad sense, the rejection of belief in the existence of deities.

Fink - You are right my Friend.

The God that I refer to is "The Absolute" / "The One" / "The Good" / 0 / O

Fink - Truth comes in many "shapes" and many "sizes". Truth can in fact be the same as Perfect.
Mathematical Truth = Perfect ( (something) completely free from faults or defects).
Beyond this example.. We live in a Binary World (See Information Theory) where all that exists can be interpreted in terms of True or False. If all necessary variables evaluated as True, the World would be Perfect.

Finkelstein - Your statement, is nonsensical. (Unless I misunderstand what you're saying)
The Truth that I refer to is the Same as Perfection. (Truth = Perfect)
It is False to assert "if God is not better than Perfect, God does not Exist."

Phizzy -
The English Language does not have a Gender Neutral pronoun, It is not my intention, to specify a Sex.
I am not using, "Good" & "Truth" as characteristics of God, I am using them as Transcendent Aspects.
I will narrow these Two Aspects down to One. Truth. To help you understand what is meant by Truth..
In the words of Mahatma Gandhi "I worship God as Truth only. I have not yet found Him, but I am seeking after Him. I am prepared to sacrifice the things dearest to me in pursuit of this quest. Even if the sacrifice demanded my very life, I hope I may be prepared to give it."
Regarding the Existing of God. Absolute Truth Does Exist, and this Truth is Good.

And to respond to the Question of who my God is.. I don't know his name. However he is Truth & he Is Good.
This is his Doctrine :
“He who has let go of hatred
who treats all beings with kindness
and compassion, who is always serene,
unmoved by pain or pleasure,
free of the "I" and "mine,"
self-controlled, firm and patient,
his whole mind focused on me
that is the man I love best.” - Bhagavad Gita

I wish I would have kept up with this Thread 2 Weeks Ago!
This is a Great Contribution @saint
1. Strong theist. 100 per cent probability of God. In the words of C.G. Jung: "I do not believe, I know."
2. De facto theist. Very high probability but short of 100 per cent. "I don't know for certain, but I strongly believe in God and live my life on the assumption that he is there."
3. Leaning towards theism. Higher than 50 per cent but not very high. "I am very uncertain, but I am inclined to believe in God."
4. Completely impartial. Exactly 50 per cent. "God's existence and non-existence are exactly equiprobable."
5. Leaning towards atheism. Lower than 50 per cent but not very low. "I do not know whether God exists but I'm inclined to be skeptical."
6. De facto atheist. Very low probability, but short of zero. "I don't know for certain but I think God is very improbable, and I live my life on the assumption that he is not there."
7. Strong atheist. "I know there is no God, with the same conviction as Jung knows there is one."
I'll choose option Number 2 for my self.
