Except that with Him it's not a matter of choice, or even faith, unless of course He derives comfort out deluding Himself?Originally posted by Zero

No, it is not contradictory. The term "atheist" simply means someone who does not believe in any gods. Therefore, if God does not believe in any gods, it is accurate to say that God is an atheist.
Yes, because the concept of atheism is not dependent on knowledge or power. It is a belief or lack thereof. Just like any other being, God can choose to believe or not believe in a higher power.
The belief in a creator does not necessarily mean a belief in a higher power. God could have created the universe while still not believing in any other gods or higher powers. Additionally, some people interpret the creation of the universe as a natural process rather than a divine act.
Not necessarily. Morality is not dependent on a belief in a higher power. Some atheists have their own moral codes based on reason and empathy. Similarly, God could have their own moral code regardless of their belief in a higher power.
It may challenge some traditional religious beliefs, but ultimately, it is up to individual interpretation and belief. Some may see it as a contradiction, while others may see it as a unique perspective on the concept of God. It is important to respect different beliefs and interpretations.
