Nice site - keep up the good work.

Have you ever thought that if god existed, then he, she or it would have to be an atheist? After all, a supreme being could not admit to there being a higher god.

Neat point!

Well, that would only be true if an atheist was someone who did not believe in a power higher than himself. Without the "than himself" phrase (which, I think, is dubious), God would, by definition, believe himself to be the higher power and therefore not be an atheist.

On the other hand, if an atheist is a someone who is without religion, then you are absolutely correct that God would be an atheist. You don't need faith if you are God, and in fact omnipotence would negate the possibility of having it.
