the term atheist itself proves that there IS a God.
a + theos, denying god = atheism
there IS a God, you're simply denying His existance. How can you deny something that doesn't exist?! Something has to exist first before you can deny its existance!

"How can you deny something that doesn't exist?!"
Therefore Flying Spaghetti Monster.
I am astounded that you can write this stuff without noticing or caring how flawed it is.
Most atheists don't deny a god's existance, they just don't believe that it exists. Your "reasoning" is flawed.
Edit, Ok deny can mean to not believe, but "denying something means it is true" is still a very flawed argument.
Obviously, Santa is real, and your parents are just denying his existence, thereby proving he is real!
Then that must mean that Santa, the Easter Bunny, the Bogeyman, the monsters under the bed, Harry Potter, Dracula, Frankenstein, the Flying Spaghetti Monster and all the rest exist too! What a magical world we really live in if we open our eyes!
HA! Got you, you evil baby-hatin', fetus eatin' Darwinists! Never mind that I don't know the definition of irony and cannot prove that my god exists in the first place - I got you with my confused logic!
I don’t especially like being labeled by my disbelief in something as a matter of fact. For example I don’t call myself a-santaclaus-ist or a-leprechaun-ist because I don’t believe is Santa or little green men. But without a deity I pretty much have to go by the word provided. So no, not believing in god does not mean I really do believe in god. Atheist is just a word in lieu of a better one.
Oh O.K., if this is such easy:
a + IPU, denying IPU = aIPUism
there is an invisible pink unicorn, you´re simply denying its existence. How can you deny something that doesn't exist?! Something has to exist first before you can deny its existance!
Something has to exist first before you can deny its existance!
By this logic, you can't deny the existence of anything - Santa Claus, the Tooth Fairy, anal-probing aliens in UFOs ...
"the term atheist itself proves that there IS a God.

The prefix "a" means "without" not "denial of" you moron.
"there IS a God, you're simply denying His existance."
Not quite. As far as I can tell there isn't one. To deny the existence of something I know for a fact exists would be highly irrational and bordering on the delusional. The converse is also true, insisting something that doesn't exist actually does (and even talking to it and claiming it talks back) actually is irrational and delusional.
"How can you deny something that doesn't exist?!"
It's quite easy when there's no evidence for its existence.
"Something has to exist first before you can deny its existance!"
Really now? Then how is it possible for me to deny the existence of an atomic scale pink elephant that lives in my left nostril? Are you saying that one actually does exist since I've just denied that it does? How... odd.
"Something has to exist first before you can deny its existance!"
Yes, but what has to exist is an idea . Only an idea has to exist for one to deny its existence. The existence of God is an idea, and atheists deny the idea of His existence. Subsitute "God" with unicorn, pink elephant, Zeus, etc. and you'll see what I mean.
How can you deny something that doesn't exist?!
Like this:
Santa Claus doesn't exist.
I say that pink gargantuan loli is real, but you just do not see it.
And everyone loves and joins the church of gargantuan pink loli.
No...
It just proves that the English language has a word for the concept.
By this logic, The Lord Of The Rings is a true historical account, and the same is true for Star Wars as well.
The concept has to exist first, dumbass.
I PROPOSE THAT I AM MADE OF COPPER.
I don't believe in ghosts, vampires, or witches, so they MUST exist for me to deny them! Heck, there's an expanding universe of fundies on this site saying that witches and witchcraft are real.
I deny that I own a Porsche, I deny that I live on a section of land, I deny that I have the winning lottery ticket.
Not working, why is it NOT WORKING!!!!!!??!?!?!?!!
Okay, I'm going to go ahead and deny that somewhere, a unicorn/fairy/dragon hybrid exists, that will self destruct in 5 minutes and destroy Earth. According to your logic, I just doomed everyone.
Or you could just be WRONG.
That's the stupidest fucking thing I've ever heard.
What if I deny the existence of winged flying cocks, or the Stay Puft Marshmallow Man?
Obviously I'm wrong, because those things must exist for me to deny them.
Everybody start wearing hats, those flying cocks are nasty.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
