A real atheist speaks of (so-called) "god" or "gods". Capitalizing the word means that you buy into the religious propaganda crap. Ergo, you are not an atheist... M. You're an atheist like I'm a pussy licker, even if I AM a congenital idiot, as you claim... Whether an atheist spells "God" with a capital "G" or a lowercase "g" depends on the context and their personal preference. If referring to a specific deity in a monotheistic context, like the Judeo-Christian God, it is generally capitalized as a proper noun. If referring to a god in a generic or plural sense (e.g., "belief in gods," "a god"), it is often written with a lowercase "g" as a common noun. Here's a more detailed breakdown: Proper Noun: When referring to the specific deity of a monotheistic religion (e.g., the God of Christianity, Islam, or Judaism), it is treated as a proper noun and capitalized. Common Noun: When referring to gods in a general sense, or when talking about multiple gods, or when not referring to a specific named deity, it is treated as a common noun and not capitalized. Personal Choice: Some atheists choose to consistently use a lowercase "g" even when referring to a specific monotheistic deity, as a way of indicating their non-belief. Contextual Use: Many atheists will use a capital "G" when quoting or referring to religious texts or beliefs, even if they don't personally believe, as a matter of respecting the context and the language of those beliefs. Straight from the chatbot's mouth... So stop trying to convince yourself--and us--that you are actually an atheist (="without god/gods"). You're not. Now listen up, son: There ain't no god or gods--it's all stories based on mythology! How many pseudo-philosophers can dance on the head of a theory about god/gods? |
