[ExI] black atheists society

[Max More]

I especially like this observation:

"It's sort of unfortunate that we even need to use that word 
[atheist]. People aren't running around going, I don't believe in Poseidon."

This reminds me... For many years, when people ask me "Are you an 
atheist", I typically respond: "Do you mean: Do I think I can 
disprove the likely existence of a god? If so, it depends on which 
god you're talking about. In that sense, I'm an atheist about the 
Judeo-Christian god.

If you mean, do I lack belief in a god (but don't necessary think 
such belief can be disproven specifically)? I'd say I'm am an atheist 
about Poseidon, as well as Odin, Zeus, Amaterasu, Tatehaya 
Susanoo-no-Mikoto, Enki, Osirus, Mama Zara, Svarog, Vishnu, Anansi 
(except as a character in Neil Gaiman's Anansi Boys), and probably 
nay other supposed god you might mention. However, oddly, hardly 
anyone asks if I'm atheist about these other supposed gods.

However, I have read many issues of Marvel's Thor comic, and look 
forward to the movie next year.
