is your response "There are no gods" or is your response "I'm confused, what are you talking about?".......they aren't going to consider me an atheist?
Lets say I don't buy a word you are saying and I reject your entire story of religion. If you are a christian, you aren't going to switch to the Muslim story if I don't believe your story. You're going to label me an atheist and tell me I'm going to hell for not believing you and your church.
Forget about generic god. It doesn't even matter to people who believe in generic god if I believe or not. It only seems to matter to Christians, Muslims and Jews. They are the ones that say us atheists are going to hell for not believing.
People who believe in Generic god don't think any harm will come to atheists if they don't believe in god. Theists got that from their holy books.
So I have a feeling if a Christian tells me about their lord and I don't believe it, they aren't going to ask me if I believe in any other gods. In fact Christians talk about their Jesus god as if he's a fact. So if I reject a Christians Jesus god, then they must consider me an atheist.
So if I was on an island and you told me about your version of god, I have to assume in your mind he is the only one real true god. So if I don't buy your story, you should consider me an atheist.
And what reason would I believe in a generic god? If I had never heard of god before and you told me about your made up god, I can only make my decision based on what you have told me. I wouldn't even know to consider other generic gods. You would be telling me about god like he was a fact and I'd probably say BULLSHIT to your insane stories.
