So-called atheists deny the existence of God. That is the bottom line. If there was any doubt to that statement, at the very most, they would still be agnostic atheists (ones who believe that it is improbable that there is a God). Secondly, since Atheists deny God's existence, the ONLY recourse is to believe exclusively upon science and logic. This is their fatal flaw:
Since the universe has not been measured in every way, to the smallest piece of matter, etc... Atheists cannot logically say that "God does not exist". If a so-called Atheist makes that statement, they are a hypocrite in that they base a logic off an unproven theory. Unproven theories may have a logical deduction to them, however they cannot EVER be called logical unless proven (which hasn't/can't be done because of the size of universe).

Speaking AS an atheist, most of that is about a truckload of bullshit. Sorry, but it really is...here goes:

First, the term "atheist" is EXTREMELY broad in its definition- all it means is "a person who does not believe in gods or devine beings." You can believe in an afterlife, magic, ghosts, and anything else that pops into your mind, so long as it doesn't classify as a god. Thus, you don't necessarily have to be Mr.Logic-is-All to be an atheist- in fact, you could be as Religious as any other religion's orthodox sects and still be an atheist. Personally, I do not believe in any form of god, yet I still believe in an afterlife.

Remember here that there are many different varieties of "monotheist(believes in one god)" and "polytheist(believes in more than one god)", yet they all fall under the same definition- atheism is not a religion in and of itself, but rather a broader term which encompasses several different belief systems. The term "atheist" is used to describe all people who don't believe in gods simply because there are no firmly established(read that: global) organizations under that title. Calling someone an atheist is akin to someone calling you a monotheist rather than Christian, Jewish, Muslim, etc. Got all that?

I realize you wrote that to say that neither side's case can be proved, but you might want to research a bit more before posting about what you think somoene else believes. Wink

Remember, kids: illiteracy is cool. If you took the time to read this, you are clearly a loser who will never get laid. You've been warned.
