Re: Atheists?

Wow! has this thread gone off topic permanently?!

Im not an atheist, but I do find the idea interesting from a philosophy perspective. Im wondering, do atheist define gods in the traditional sense?

is it only the gods of established religions that they believe do not exist?

where would you draw the line? Do atheists believe there could be life in other star systems?

if so, could that life be so far advanced from us that they would be god-like?

could they be what we would call spiritual beings (as opposed to physical?)

is it a matter of creation? god created the universe? or could it be that some alien life form created humanity and seeded our planet?

I guess Im trying to understand exactly what it means to be an atheist?
