Atheism is irrational.

[quote='Neo-Scholastic' pid='1460170' dateline='1480547117']I didn't say that you are actively denying that go exists. I am implying that you have taken a stance with this respect to the proposition "Does god(s) exist?"

You kind of just did it there again. The question isn't, "Does God exist" because that question is unanswerable. Am I a God?

I actually answered this question elsewhere to another member albeit not very respectfully:

I don't think many theists actually realize it when they're shifting the language like that to bolster their own beliefs and arguments. It is, after all, much easier to dislike a person who "denies" your beloved beliefs than it is to dislike one who simply doesn't believe it.

I don’t want to dislike anyone; I just get a little peeved sometimes. With all due respect, I think it is most atheists who are unwittingly playing with semantics. And this series of posts gives my reasoning.
This one is intentionally sarcastic, so keep that in mind: http://atheistforums.org/thread-46320-po...pid1451557

Your response about miracles is actually very interesting to me.

Thank you.
Right now a parallel thread is discussing miracles. Here is the link http://atheistforums.org/thread-46490-po...pid1461133 It gives a fairly neat summary of how I view miracles. Maybe you could jump over and participate on that

But you are wrong about one thing there. There has been at least one reported miracle which very much was the "cause of faith", if you take the claims at face value. It happened on the road to Damascus.

Well, I personally think that gnostic visions fall into a different category: theophany.
