   Oh my, then English is not your first language?  Typo is out of the   
   question, but flat abuse of language, a strong probability.

   Under the presumption you meant individual god, no, atheists do not.  In   
   as much is a god cannot be properly defined because it relies on being   
   supernatural, and you cannot tell me which god I help you find myself,   
   you are lying.  To quote you, you are trying to poison the well.  But you   
   can't, anyone that knows an individual atheist quickly realizes, that   
   even though their point of view in regard to deity may not be shared by   
   them, they do not have a personal god or goddess.  Why not?  Now that is   
   a fair dinkum question gov, and the answer is simplicity itself.  It has   
   to do what he foundation of the word atheist which I will leave it to you   
   as an exercise in futility and frustration.  Atheists knows what it   
   means, for we live with it.  Well of course, just like with theistic   
   individuals, it goes all the way from who gives a damn, to this is the   
   way it is.  But unlike you, we don't have to pretend to a position on a   
   philosophical question, we can accept the evidence provided by reality   
   101 and get on with our lives.  Unfortunately for you, you cannot accept   
   this because it drives you bonkers.  How can one reduce this, your   
   attempt to tell any atheist what they are, in the only thing you have in   
   common with them is the ability to pronounce the word god correctly nine   
   out of 10,000 times.  Not a very good foundation for an exchange of   
   information or points of view.   
      
   walksalone who is of the opinion that based on personal experience, this   
   troll will not survive its encounter with the atheist newsgroup.  After   
   all, we have grown up to the point where just because someone says   
   something it really is so, does not mean we feel obliged to accept them   
   at face value.  If that thing called evidence, or in this particular   
   posters case, Lacka.  Not a silver bullet by any means, but to date not   
   one of the god botherers has been capable of explaining why it does not   
   apply to them.  Be they agnostic or theistic, the sound of handwringing   
   or total silence is telling.
