godsgift233: Your phone is God. Your vehicle is God. He's trying to engage in semantics and derail the thread with foolishness. He knows exactly which connotation of God atheists talk about but prefers to engage in this game where he goes around calling household items and celebrities God. |

nice one Op but jst before I begin to read then comments, I want to say this. God/Gods are labels or Titles, anything can be a God to anyone, all that's needed is exaltation and worship There's difference between God and The creator In Yoruba, we don't have a word for God, but if I must fit one into a translator it would be "Orisha" which when broken down means "selected by Ori" or selected consciousness" referencing their status as Stand outs in glory and exaltation however we have words for various Energies/Forces which have come under personifications with the lives and times of some Great ancestors a God may not exist but you can't deny what the God is said to represent...take Ogun lakaye Osinmole for instance...he is said to be an Orisha wielding two swords clearing the path of life, forger of bones, brains behind metal work, a man who baths in blood and his eyes soaking red, one who touches the blood with his tongue first, setter of the earth's foundation...all these are of course nt describing an existing entity in the sky but a personification, of certain aspects of existence...thorough study will prove that all there is about Ogun in his Pataki and Oriki as connected even scientifically...all having to do with Metallic elements So don't take the "God" seriously but what it represents 1 Like |

Weah96: Actually yes, since everything is conscious and capable of being exalted in it's glory, then yes there's no limit to what can be a God I was watching spartacus just yesterday and people revered him so much exaltation that it was said "he becomes like a God" |
Re: Atheism FAQ - For Atheists And Theists by macof(m): 2:16am On Dec 28, 2014 |
Weah96: No. You use the word "God" when it means tons of things to different people. If u wanna tackle Abrahamics use the name they gave their gods...God is a title that affects every thing spirituality, at least when we speaking English |

macof: The Abrahamic God, along with other Gods of similar nature do no exist. Atheists are not concerned with the existence of Okocha, Obi Mikel, and Timbaland boots. It's disingenuous to pretend that you don't know the relevant connotation. Many words have multiple meanings. That's why context is important. |
