one less god than a Christian

[juldea]

Just had to share this one: "It has been pointed out that most believers are atheistic with respect to rival pantheons, and that an atheist merely believes in one less god than a Christian."

From one of the comments to this rather good read: An Athiest Manifesto

The quip is cute, but specious. The difference between 1 and 0 is 100%.

The manifesto... basically his main argument is a sloppy version of the Epicurean Paradox, and he spends a lot of time ignorantly arguing against strawmen. I don't believe in a god, but I don't want to be associated with that guy.

For purposes of mentioning it here, I didn't care that it was specious. It was still cute. ;)
