Question for Atheists-- Do you believe there is absolutely no form of God whatsoever, or is it just the Christian God you take issue with?

It's as viable as believing in Osirus, Woden or hugging trees. Sure you can learn lessons from fables and mythology but I don't literally believe a gingerbread man came to life and ran from an old lady, old man, cow, goose only to ride a fox and get eaten because he was ignorant, smug and outwitted. You might learn some morality from the stories. I might feel something when taking in the beauty of nature but I don't attribute it to a omniscient, vain at times sky daddy.

I believe the golden rule is worth something. And if this life is all we get it might be worth improving the quality of life for all that suffer, and you can find plenty of meaning from that.

We sit on a rock in the middle of a cosmic shooting gallery, there's nothing intelligent about the design, our sun will eventually go red giant and likely extinguish all life in 4-5 billion years, if we don't kill ourselves off first.

If a cult exists long enough it becomes powerful and eventually is accepted as religion, for good, bad or greed.
