"Atheism" includes everyone who is not "theist", as it means "without theism". So, in actuality, aren't you guys saying the same thing pretty much?

Bunyip says that you either believe God exists or you believe God doesn't exist. I say you can believe God exists, you can believe God doesn't exist, or you can say "I'm on the fence and haven't taken sides".

Well what if God was watching you sitting on the fence?

Oh. Yeah I agree with you then. I know many atheists who don't hold the belief that God does not or cannot exist.

What if the Powerful Space Wizard is watching you type on the keyboard, just waiting for you to press "enter"?

I prefer God and heaven to Space Wizard.
But if it makes you giggle.....go ahead and laugh.

then press enter.....

and then later....knock on the Door and ....yes! they will let you enter!
They will show you around!
and then they will throw you back out.

how's that for a giggle?.....

What if Allah is watching me sitting on the fence waiting for me to decide whether to become a Muslim or become a strong atheist?

It's some lame religious threat of being rejected for eternity by a being that no one can prove exists.

Not a threat....
It's cause and effect.

If you don't believe.....do you think heaven will let you hang around?

and you already know....no proving.....

Who wants to go to heaven and spend eternity with a being capable of genocide and drowning a whole planet including most of the animals because he didn't like how people behaved?
