Thank you. Now we have a clear reference to at least one poster.  I am so happy that you posted such a concise and forthright  answer that I am not going to critique or oppose what you said in this post.

I just want to appreciate the post.  

Humbly, I mean it sincerely... I am new here and I find your post refreshing.

Great JOB! May the mods give you another star I don't know how you get them, but for this I would click on the button to give you one it if it were possible.

I will post a critique later for now lets savor it's succinctness and beauty.

And just HOW many of us have stated quite plainly that we see no evidence for the existence of any deities?  I'd go count but this troll isn't worth the time. Oh, and atheism isn't a BELIEF.  It is a lack of belief.

Appears to be an unstable troll/POE.

DPB: "The irrational thing would be to have no reason to believe in something and believe it anyway".
YB: This is my Q. in the belief of being an A, what is the reason to hold on to that belief?

If I said, "as far as I can tell" you are a theist (that being my reason)
and then said, "therefore  I do not believe" you are an atheist".   
Should that allow me to say I find the idea reason for being an (A) a stupid a kids answer to hard questions. 
(Not trying to be harsh, just critiquing the logical reason you seem to have given ).

English isn't your first language is it. It is very hard to comprehend the virtual gibberish you are spouting.

But let me summarise what you are saying.

I say that I find no arguments for evidence presented so far sufficient to sway me from my belief that the idea of god does not meet my standard of evidence for being a real thing and sway me from my opinion that it is just the go to answer for the feeble minded.

But you say that not being convinced of somethings existence is not a good enough reason to NOT believe in it.


That position means that you must believe any premise no matter how silly or contradictory to any other belief you may hold or be a total hypocrite.


At this point you are just being annoying and I suspect that's the point.

Is it just me or do I miss little rik? has he undergone mithosis?

The  discussion is about I mean is about the Q is there any  logical. reasonable. rational reason to be an A.

And  I'm trying to fill in blanks
A: My logical rational reason for being an A is_____________________________.
And that is supported by the logical rational reason of ________________________.

From:
I'm nominally an atheist because every definition of God I've heard of consists of one or more of the following:
1) Incoherent RV: - lacking any useful meaning, or so vague as to provide no substance.
2) Untestable
3) Relabelling
And that is supported by the logical rational reason of "When confirmed and verified proof is presented,".

I want to make sure your of your logical reason for being a n A  and according to you in the above; definitions being vague or incoherent somehow have something to do with your logical reason for being an A. It is confusing. I don't like confusion. Perhaps you could make a succinct statement that fills in the blanks above and I will go from there.
For example:
 My logical reason for being an A is,
           I am certain about my belief
 and that is supported by,
       I know no I have no  incoherent non vague definitions are
       thoroughly tested my being an A by __________
        Keep things labeled as they are.

Yeah, I know exactly what you’re doing as I’ve seen it before. I’m not going to play, sorry.

Atheism is my briefs, because it lies at the seat of the matter.

I'm not sure why Ybe thinks he gets to judge our reasons for being atheist.

Ya know, other than christian's always reserve the right to judge others.

Right, lol.

Depends on the type of atheism.

Same problem... that's the point of my analogy. 
It's like you're saying that not collecting stamps might not be the default position for not collecting stamps. Or saying that bachelors might not be unmarried or squares might not have four sides.

The point is that atheism has to be the default position for atheists.

Perhaps there is some misunderstanding>
  So, the default position is simple to see.

Belief in No X-rays vs  belief in X-rays  What is the default postion?
