I obey the state because I choose to obey the state.

And you could choose to disobey god without killing it.

The state has that, too. That's why they punish you.

Who says their omnipotent and powerful?

If they're not are they gods? What separates them from people besides immortality and power?

Logistically speaking its hard us fuck.

for any human to define god is an absurdity. whatever god, gods or godlike beings, see fit to exist, owe NOTHING to anything anyone claims to know about them.

Why is "overthrowing the government" the only way you can fight the state?

To be quite honest, any being proclaiming itself your ruler should not be treated with respect beyond that which all living things deserve. Nobody is your master and that is how it should be.

I second this.

Except Baldur. And two humans who camped out in a forest that survived Surtr's flame.

Wait a minute...

I believe Anti-Theists are just as ignorant as fundamental Christians. People can believe in what they want to believe in, as long as it makes them happy and does not hurt anyone.

Yes, because disagreeing with something and opposing it based on rational premises and evaluations of harm is completely the same as believing in something dogmatically because someone in authority has decreed it.

Completely.
