"God doesn't believe in Atheists"
That comment presents me with a dilemma:
1) I know Atheists exist
2) I don't know if "God(s)" exist as there's no evidence o them
3) Why should I care about the opinion of a being whose very existence can't be verified especially when its' opinion is contradicted by the facts?
I suppose "God(s)" might be as illogical as its' followers, but I would have expected more after all the hype surrounding it.

Actually, Atheists don't really exist. Not in an intellectual sense. Nobody can say for certain that there is no God, as you can't prove a negative.
You can say you don't believe it, or you can be an Agnostic and say you don't know. But to say "There is no God" is a belief born of faith just like any religion.

However if you believe in something and you are wrong well you lose out on that but if you are right you again everything.
True, but everyone has equal probability of being wrong. Including Christians.

But I don’t lose anything though. I just gain if I'm right it is like a bonus. You can't win if you don't play the game. At least by playing you have a chance of wining.

I'm pretty sure that they do, actually.

Then should their be Christians? They can't say for sure there IS a god.But if you really believe in what you are saying, like there is no god. then Yes, I think Atheists exist.
Infact, I'll say it for certain right now... There is no God.

If I'm wrong I just die If I'm right I get ever lasting life. If you beleive in nothing you just die and have no chance really for anything.

If you want a real challenge, try proving that you are real.
Cogito ergo sum.
I think, therefore I am.
