If there were no God then there would be no atheists.

Say that there´s no Zeus either, all the people who worshipped him in the past were WHAT?. And let´s reverse the question, if there were no God, there would be believers?
Actually, if there were no God, the world would likely be exactly like it is right now.
There are four scenarios here as far as Christians are involved:
Scenarion 1, God exists and is the Christian concept. All the Christians are right, all the non-Christians are misled, and all the atheists are deluded fools.
Scenario 2: God exists, but is not the Christian concept. Someone has it right, the Christians are misled, and the atheists are deluded fools.
Scenario 3: God does exist, but does not care about or concern itself with humans. All the religious are deluded fools, and the atheists, while also deluded, take the more practical approach.
Scenario 4: God does not exist. The religious are deluded fools, and the atheists are right.
There is no way to determine which of these scenarios is accurate, since God seems to refuse to prove his existence with direct, empirical evidence. That makes either scenario 3 or 4 the most likely, but not a certainty. You make your choice and you take your chances, but choosing Scenarios 1 or 2 is making a deliberate decision to be illogical and basically bet on the trailing horse. At least be honest and admit that, retreating into flat denials of denial is just silly.
I think he meant to say: "If there was God there would be no atheists."
That makes sense.
Wait, he's a fundie? Then I'm sure he didn't intend to make sense. My bad.
(Seriously, if there really was a god, who wanted to have a say in how we live our lives, I'm sure he wouldn't leave such things as his existence unclear.)
Adrian, sorry, but you are incorrect there. There is no God, at least not in any form that any of our regulkar fundie christians would acknowledge (and probably not in any other form either) and yet the world is crammed with idiots^H^H^H^H^H^H believers who aren't atheists.
What you're saying is that, if there were no god, everyone would still believe in a god. This does insult atheists, but it does not strengthen the position of theists.
If there were no unicorns, there would be no people who denied the existence unicorns.
Man, proving unicorns exist is easy.
Um....no, if there were no gawd, then...well, we'd pretty much have the world we have now. Y'see, there IS no gawd. And yet we still have medieval screw-heads like you running around trying to appease your bloodthirsty sky-fairy, demanding that everybody shuck free-will and common sense and hop onto the Fundie Bandwagon.
Now then, if we had absolute proof that there was no gawd, something even pudding-heads like you could controvert, then we'd have nothing but athiests.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
