But hey, nobody can force you to call yourself anything; you can use whatever label you feel comfortable with. It's just that when you're talking about the concepts and ideas behind the words it's important to be clear. From the words that you've used, I would call you an agnostic atheist (like most people here). That means you don't accept the claim "A god exists" but you also DONT make the claim "A god does not exist."
My source says they (atheist and agnostic) are two different things.
I want to be convinced totally that there is not a God.
You want to be convinced of a universal negative? I don't think anyone can help you with that. Unless you specify which version of God you want us to disprove, some of them are subject to disproof. The God of theodicy doesn't exist because it has contradictory attributes. The God that flooded the earth to the mountain tops and stopped the sun in the sky for the convenience of a Hebrew army doesn't exist because those things didn't happen. The God of Deism neither has contradictory attributes nor historical claims that can be proven false. The only reason not to believe that God is real is that there isn't any good reason to think it really is real.
I'm not anti-Christian. I'm anti-stupid.
