11. God is an Atheist
Is God an atheist? By "God", lets understand a being with the sort of qualities traditionally ascribed to him by orthodox Christian interpretations; namely, all knowing, all powerful, all present, all that kind of stuff. On the standard Christian definition, there is nothing that God doesn’t know. God does not need to question where he came from or whether a higher or greater power caused his existence. An omniscient God has no existential dilemmas and, hence, has no room for – or need of – faith. Fundamental to the definition of an atheist is the idea of "being without faith". Ergo, God is an atheist. Who'd have thought it?
