If you believe you are Christ, then you are the Christ. If you believe Christ talks to you, then Christ talks to you. Apparently, as to the latter statement, we can't challenge that.

so "atheists, what if you are wrong?
" no, im confident im not wrong .
Theists are wrong. I know this because I'm the Eggman and thus have seen and spoken with Liberace personally.
Theists might have reason to dobt and good reasons based on lack of evidence of a living Eggman, but who is to say just because Eggmandoes not appear personally to theists, he isn't appearing to a select few of his personal followers? For those to whom he does appear, there is little to help others to believe since they would just dismiss them as loonies, whether theEggman is real or not. So the Eggman isn't particularly interested in showing himself to the world or to theists at this point, probably considering swanky party with boas and small bunny rabbits sufficient. But he has been appearing to others apparently; me being one of them.
So it is nice to be able to put a definitive answer on the "Is the Eggman real?" issue. That is, is the egg of the God Delusion real? He is. He's alive and well and about to demonstrate his powers at the swanky party with boas and small bunny rabbits. I have direct proof of the Eggman, but of course, that is very rare, but my circumstances are rare as well. That's the way it goes. Keep in mind, though, if the Eggman wanted to make it easier for those to believe in him, he would have.
Theism, regardless of the rheoric, have lost this one. Sorry.
*Just cleaned it up a bit to make it more sensible.
i am just curious, and not judging.
if you are a christian and you know that december 25th is not jesus' birthday, and may have pagan roots, then why celebrate it?
i was raised a dub as most of you know, and have learned the ttatt so i know how wrong they are about a lot.
It's a great time for people to be fake friendly to one another for awhile. I like it!
i`m only halfway through chapter 4 and enjoying what i have read so far .so why am i asking for peoples comments now ?
the reason i have is this : i wish i had done something like this when i first was approached by the witnesses ,i beleive i would have been more informed to make some enlightened decisisions that would eventually shape my future .. whereas not doing so i spent the next 33 years a slave of the watchtower , and not just me but my wife and children , not that i`m suggesting i would be a slave of richard dawkins , but i can weigh up the pros and cons as i progress through his book ,then hopefully i can draw the right conclusions , if their are any.. smiddy.

Charilko - ...because we know that the usual names wil say one thing and that you and I and others will say another.
That you are not interested in actually learning or listening to what atheists say is abundantly clear with this sentence.

Cofty - Now that's an agnostic!
Well, I should qualify that. I don't have an opinion on any god because no theist has been able to explain to me in satisfactory way that such a god actually exists. Therefore, I have no opinion of any god because I don't have anything of substance to comment on or go on. (other than their personal experience and I don't sway easily)
It's like having an opinion or comment on the purple leperchaun that my neighbor insists that they think is real in the community garden we share. I just haven't met the bloke. ;)

It's not a postion!
Let's break it down. You say a god exists. I say show me the evidence. (You show me evidence). I say that is not sufficient evidence and bid you good dayand politely go my way. You chase me down and say it's your burden of proof, it's your burden of proof!

You have an extremely narrow view of definitions. That's all that has to be said. You are also cherry picking your dictionary definition.

Again this bears repeating, atheism is not a worldview and it doesn't have a postion. It's not a way of life. It's a disbelief in the claimant's assertion that gods exist due to insufficient evidence.
These strawmen sure like to pop up a lot.

Atheists are wrong on a lot of things: financial decisions, family decisions, personal matters etc. As to how an atheist can be wrong in matters related to some supreme being is another matter.
