Proof for being an atheist

[I_am_not_mafia]

Well coming from you houseofcantor I'd be genuinely surprised if there is a word "atheist".

The same thing for miss mafia. I'd be genuinely surprised if there is a word "agnostic."

That's it. I've had enough.

I challenge you to some improvisational theatre.

I call plate spinning followed by a Mime-off.

There is no surprise about theism, however. All God is, is a credible position. And this is also the true position by definition.

As far as acting like an agnostic goes, you cannot act like an agnostic, because you're in a perpetual state of belief/non-belief. This dis-proves your opinion mafia lady.

As far as acting like an atheist goes, you cannot act like an atheist, because an atheist bases his position on nothing.

The simplest bullshit in the world from you fellows, and the simplest of responses.

Agnosticism has nothing to do with belief/non-belief. It concerns itself with knowledge claims.

Atheism needs to base itself on nothing more than a lack of good evidence that there is a god of any sort. And you continue, through your inability to provide such evidence, to give us all the reason we need on which to base our non-belief.

Just pointing this out to you crossless, you are entirely wrong about agnosticism.

Rules are:

No eye gouging.
No choking.
If your opponent tap-dances out then they give up.

Do tell, my etymologically challenged chimp. What would be the difference, for example, between a gnostic Christian and an agnostic Christian? Or between an agnostic atheist and a gnostic atheist?

Begs the question of why?

[JBrentonK]

Crossless. Again, you are trying to confuse the terms. Perhaps it would be best if we stuck to your route, and decided not to debate the terms. Christianity is one position: everybody that is non christian burns in hell. This includes agnostics.

agnosticism - is a view that all truth values in the realm of metaphysical and religious claims such as whether or not god the defivine or the super natural exists are unknown or unknowable. 

Meaning either way they do not know until evidence is provided.

Atheism - a narrower since and the absence of the belief in god and deities.

The confusion isn't on my end, and you didn't answer the question.

And if you're wrong, you're on the fast track to Gehenna, Jahannam or Naraka. Hell (pun intended), if your particular sect is wrong, you're in for a place of honor at satans fire.

But I get it, it's always the one telliing the tall tales, who's right.
