		<description>God is fatuous, but that does not gainsay that that negates atheism ,since atheism is the absence of belief in Him, so that ignostics affrim atheism, and since the First Cause and the Designer and such have no referent,the arguments for Him themselves affirm igtheism as Paul Kurtz calls it.</description>

		<description>I am a social Anarchist, meaning I belive in the autonomy of the ego, without dictation, although he must cooperate with the existing politics and society as long as they never thread his hoof. As a social Anarchist I belive in the diversity of man&#039;s belief, as the myriads of religions formed from Theism. 

An Atheist could say there is no Jesus, no Nazareth, or even an Adam-built Mecca; as there are Atheists who venerate the major religious founders because of their contribution to world history, be it terrific or terrible.

To maintain diversity only this should be an Atheist creed:
-that he disbelieve not just God, but all kinds of supernaturalism and superstition.
-that, if he&#039;s an artist, he&#039;s an aestheticist; if not, he must be very practical.
-that he&#039;s a realist and a naturalist.
-he&#039;s Epicurean.</description>

		<description>From what i&#039;ve read of Max in this article, he seems more to claim that God&#039;s existence is a question that cannot be addressed, along the line of Bertrand Russell i suppose, as God is nothing you can pin down. 

I don&#039;t thinks it&#039;s possible to do as this author has done and simply postulate &quot;existence&quot; as an attribute to God (which Kant has kindly explained cannot be done) nor any other predicates. What Max seems to be saying is that any God you attempt to disprove God, through reason, will never be a direct reflection of the the God up there (if there is one) as God is simply a diverse concept (concept being a key issue here) and cultural relativism shows everyone has a different opinion as to what/who he, she or it is, and consequently atheism can&#039;t take evidence and claim &quot;this proves God is not omni benevolent&quot; because who&#039;s to say God is omni benevolent at all. 

Personally i would suggest the only claim to theism, or knowledge of God, is direct contact with God, experience of him (but for it to be inductively concluded it would have to be STRONG evidence) 

Furthermore, i would claim you can&#039;t have &#039;in experience of God&#039; (from an Atheist&#039;s point of view) to claim he doesn&#039;t exist, AT ALL, only that it&#039;s unlikely he doesn&#039;t. Consequently agnosticism (or Max (?)) seems to be suggesting that atheism is not possible, the question of God&#039;s existence can&#039;t be answered through reason, nor can it be completely disregarded through a lack of evidence. 

I probably spurting crap at the moment. Most of this site seems WAY beyond anything i can comprehend. :/</description>

		<description>If Max is right and he is, then we have the ignostic challenge that God is a meaningless word!</description>
