"If there were no God, there would be no Atheists"

That is the most fucking stupid use of logic I have ever heard.

Atheists believe there is no God. Even without "God", the concept of God is possible.

I just re-read the quote and I stand corrected. The quote carries the presupposition that god exists.

[Hendodo]

my take on it is this . atheists are those who do not believe in the existence of a "God". so the quote is " If there was no God there would not be people who dont believe in the existence of God". Sounds legit. if anyone has another take, dont hesitate to say .

Reminds me of one of my favorites, the diss-meister Sir Winston Churchill. Some select disses:

He is a sheep in sheep’s clothing.

A modest man, who has much to be modest about.

He has all the virtues I dislike and none of the vices I admire.

Bessie Braddock: “Sir, you are drunk.”

Churchill: “Yes madam, I am drunk, but in the morning I shall be sober, and you will still be ugly.”

Nancy Astor: “Sir, if you were my husband, I would give you poison.”

Churchill: “If I were your husband I would take it.”
