There is a member whose signature line reads, "god is only pretend".

I am posting this thread to give my opinion on the matter.

I am not against the posting of positive, non-secular phrases or ideas. I do feel that "god is only pretend" is most certainly a challenge to all of us who do believe in some higher authority. How about, "I do not believe in god" ? That would certainly convey the thought without provoking anyone.

If the coin were flipped, wouldn't it then be okay to have a signature "Atheists are dead wrong" ?

I do not intend this thread to become a debate over whether or not there is a God. It's foolhearty to undertake such an excercise. I would like to know if anyone else is offended by this signature. I believe it is challenging in its nature.

Am I being overly defensive?

Jack

P.S. I do not intend this thread to become a debate over whether or not there is a God.
