209712, ....and doubled down on the same false equivalency about atheists

You keep regurgitating the same misconception.

An atheist doesn't think the cake pops out of existence from nothing.
Nor does an atheist necessarily think the universe pops up from nothing. Your cake analogy is a poor one, for reasons I already laid out. As far as the universe as it rates to lack of a belief in a god, "the atheist", generally speaking, would simply say that we don't know how the universe came into existence.

That's it.

You've taken an additional step of claiming to know what that cause was, and then taking that a step further to say that you know that cause personally.

With you, it's intellectuall dishonesty at every turn.

Anyhow, you don't know what an atheist believes, other than they don't believe in god..

Atheists aren't a monolithic group, anymore than Christians. After all I've had plenty of quality discussions with Christians and other theists who are honest and don't employ the snake-like disigenousness tactics that you do.
