A challenge to all Atheists, Agnostics, Freethinkers, Skeptics, Secularists, Humanists, and Non-Religious...
The challenge is simple and subtle, yet requires diligence and perseverance.
The Challenge is this...
Refrain from using the word "God" as a proper noun. When talking about a specific god, use that god's name. The most relevant, of course, are Yahweh, Allah and Elohim.
Why do this? What's the point?
When referring to a believers god by name, you are depriving that god its imaginary exalted status of being the only one, true god, and forcing the believer to put his/her god into perspective with all the countless others. By referring to these gods by name and abandoning the blanket term God, we force the believer to consider the character of these gods as individuals with their own unique nature, attributes, personalities, and desires. By doing such a simple of a task, we are placing a tiny seed into the subconscious of our culture about the nature of these gods.
Their god does not deserve the status of God. No god does. At least not until they can demonstrate that their god is the one, true god.
Until then, their ancient idols should remain as they are, one of many and nothing special.
hindus worship a statue of a cock in a cows pussy. they bury alive female babies, burn alive ther wives for dowry money. pray to pigs, rats, dogs, pollute earth most they are worthless vermin even copy western culture

@jacoblgames - You are following a tradition, not an actual being...you are believing in something that isn't there, and you are calling me an asshole...that is rich, rich indeed.
Frankly you can worship a twig, maybe you will have luck with that as well.

@JOHNINCOLUMBUS How can you not see how you are being an asshole? Never once in my life have I been abused by religion. You're the one that needs to grow up. Pressing your atheism on me. Talk about low. Fyi, if I gave into atheism I would be betraying my ancestors, Ndee, the mighty Apaches. And I don't expect you to believe me. I only expect you to read.
