So, yes, you are calling God a liar.

I'm an atheist. To me, your "god" is no more capable of lying than it is riding a bicycle.

There are those who do not believe in a god that matches the one that you believe, but you seem utterly unable to fathom that. Thus, my statement stands: you are stuck in a false dichotomy fallacy.

I am an anti-you-ist. I don't believe you exist. Your response must just be some kind of random creation of chance. So If I call you a liar, it doesn't matter because I don't believe in you right? Oh, wait, that isn't exactly how it works is it.

I'm full aware that others believe any number of things. People delude themselves with all manner of religious club rites intended at making themselves feel better about unanswerably doing whatever they please without any real guilt or responsibility. I understand, I just don't care that others believe other things. If 2+2=4, I'm not going to sit and worry that others believe it equals 5,6, 10, or a million. Dispelling ignorance requires that they either come to know that 4 is the sum, or that they have access to that knowledge if I'm around to share it. Beyond that, they're responsible for themselves to answer to God for their actions and beliefs. The issue at hand is whether Darwinism or scripture are mutually exclusive and you're way off the beaten path trying to handwring.
