Yes, that is justified. God is The Causeless Cause. He is Self-sufficient. He does not "believe" anything. He is "Sat-Cit-Ananda-Vigraha", which means that He is the eternal form full of *knowledge* and bliss. And there can be none higher than Him. Although He is not simply the superior power, He is The Supreme Powerful.
Your logic should lead you to conclude that you place yourself in the same position as God, being an atheist. You must consider yourself self-sufficient. You think that you are the creator/proprietor and enjoyer of all you survey. But these ideas are false because you continually fall down. God is infallible. And you (in this current material covering) were dependent upon the seminal fluid of your father engaging with the ovary of your mother. God is the **only** Entity that holds the qualification of independence.
So, whereas God is eternally justified in His position, you are living a falsehood.
"Why, if God is himself an atheist, should we suppose that that he disapproves of atheism among his creatures? Is not a benevolent father pleased when his children grow up to be like him? And how can the Christian condemn atheism per se without also condemning their atheistic God? Is not the atheist who strives to be like God more admirable than the Christian who merely believes in him? "
God is the standard. It is by that standard that you come to be godly. So if you reject that standard how can you strive to be like God?
Your idea would be that since God is the standard, you also should be your own standard. But you cannot compare yourself to God. You are continually falling, whereas God is forever infallible. God is The Only True Atheist. Anyone else who poses as an atheist is confused.
This is exactly why he is saying that God is an atheist. 2-0-Sixx is defining atheism as one who does not believe in a higher power. Thus, if God is The Cause without a cause, then there is no one above Him, and He does not believe in a "higher power". Thus, God is atheist in this sense. But God is eternally justified in that position. He is THE ONLY ONE TRUE ATHEIST.
2-0-Sixx's reasoning further from this is that God, (as The Father), should be happy to see His children growing up to be like Him in the sense that they too become atheists.
I say this, if we are trying to be like these great personalities then let all the atheists be exactly like Lord Shiva. Lord Shiva drank an ocean of poison. If that is too much for you, try simply drinking a cup. That would make daddy proud.
Then you can step it up and begin creating innumerable universes filled with an innumerable amount of galaxies, filled with an innumerable amount of planets, filled with innumerable amount of living entities, covered in very precisely refined mechanisms by which they inhabit their various dwellings, etc, etc, etc....
The idea is NOT to be like God. It is to be as ourselves, subordinate, in His loving service. Knowing the position of the self is knowing that one is eternally servant of God. You will find that position exemplified in all Scriptures. That is your answer. This thread has expired.
