Yes, its another freeze dried Bible expert.......snore. But, just for a change of pace, I'm going to ignore her bible school brain washing and simply agree with her main point. There is no such thing as an atheist. I base this premise on a definition of "God" that I think almost anyone would find acceptable (if they can forgive my attempt to define the undefinable): God - The ultimate reality. Even if you believe that there is no "ultimate reality", then that in and of itself constitutes "The ultimate reality". Hence there is no escape, philisophically speaking, from believing in "The ultimate reality" and therefore no escaping a belief in God and therefore, no such thing as an atheist. Its a one word oxymoron.
Here's an even better argument (I'm just pulling this out of my ass):
A person's conviction to the atheist credo, "I do not believe in God" can only be as strong as their understanding of what "God" IS. But how can one be so damn sure about the charactaristics of something that does not even exist? They can't, by definition. Therefore, "I do not believe in God" is an impossible conviction. It self destructs at the word "God".
Only THIS is what makes someone "a fool of the first degree" for trying to uphold such nonsense - not because some dumbass old antiquated book says so. I sware, Christians just ruin religion for everybody.

McSpotlight: Caution, Daddio; by the normal conditions of the Anything Else room, this would be right at home, but things are a little tense around here with regard to religion right now; please play nicely.
None.
