Most atheists stubbornly fail to defend their atheism. When someone ignorantly blurts out 'I'm an atheist', I ask them what God they don't believe in. Of course, they can never prove the God they're talking about doesn't exist, considering most Gods are beyond the reach of our puny human senses in the first place. They may point to starving children and say 'Why would any God allow that?', not realizing that a few years suffering as a child is nothing if God(s) exists. I expect atheists to have a concise argument against each God individually. How can you know you're truly an atheist if you haven't even considered all the Gods? List of Gods

I don't classify myself as anything, though I am a follower of no faith. I think the odds of an omnipotent superbeing controlling all things are so slight, I don't give it any thought. Can't rule out the possibility though, no matter how small. |

How do you prove there is a God considering most Gods are beyond the reach of our puny human senses in the first place.

Can't rule out the possibility though, no matter how small. I've finally bypassed humanish deities going straight to the "Quantum Wu," "aka" the Higg's Boson. This is the only tangible proof of possible "intelligence" at the "heart" of the big bang creation. Therefore, I can't really say I don't believe in "God," however certainly, any human derived version is but another human with superpowers used by humans to fuck over other humans. |

What is your concise argument for each God individually?
Thanks for the list, though. Cool.

Odin: All-Father of the Norse Gods and their king.  Odin, aka Woden (a proto-germanic word meaning Lord of Frenzy, as going berserk, which is also Loki's trademark) is the son of Borr and Bestla, who along with his brothers, Vi and Villi, kills Ymir, the frost giant, and from his body they create the Nine Realms which includes Midgard, aka Earth, and the first humans Ask and Embla: Spirit they possessed not, sense they had not,
blood nor motive powers, nor goodly colour.
Spirit gave Odin, sense gave Hœnir,
blood gave Lodur, and goodly colour.He suffers the loss of an eye when he trades it with Mimir, a severed head accidently cutoff in the Asgard-Vanaheim War, for the Raganok prophecy. He crucifies himself, then discovered the runes when he looks down: I know that I hung on a windy tree
nine long nights,
wounded with a spear, dedicated to Odin,
myself to myself,
on that tree of which no man knows
from where its roots run.
No bread did they give me nor a drink from a horn,
downwards I peered;
I took up the runes, screaming I took them,
then I fell back from there.
His many children include Thor, Baldur, Vidar, Milli, Sigi, Heimdallr (who has nine mothers), Hodor, Bragi (a Bard), Honeir (born an adult to avenge the Loki's murder of Baldur) and many others who become the founders of tribal dynasties on Earth. Odin's son Wecta is the ancestor of Hengest and Horsa, who founded the Kingdom of Kent, as well as of Aella of Deira and his son Edwin of Northumbria. The Anglo-Saxon Chronicle traces the kings of Bernicia and Wessex to Baldur. Wednesday is named after him, and he hides in plain sight at Yuletide as Santa Claus and leads the Wild Hunt. His Roy Cohn-like fixer and operative is Loki, who also may be his brother, known as Lodur, who may be derived from the chief god of the Celts, Lugh. Loki's is the son frost giant Farbauti (strike unfairly) and goddess Laufey (dry leaves or tinder). Oddly, Loki is often referred to using his mother's name as a matronymic Laufeyjarson rather than the traditional patronymic Farbautisson. Odin has more than 170 other names. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_names_of_Odin |

What a stupid argument, I disbelieve in the Loch Ness Monster and Bigfoot at the same time too, just means I think fantasies and supernatural beliefs to be utter hogwash.  |

Your argument can be used against theists as well - they can't prove their stuff either.
The only sensible position is agnostic.
