Quote:Actually I'm not telling anybody anything, as I've said multiple times now, I read the definition from a dictionary.
Quote: Dictionary - Atheist: A person who does not believe in God or gods.An atheist is simply one who does not believe in the existence of a god or gods. That's it.
I am an agnostic atheist, I'm not claiming anything, I have simply rejected the claim that a god or gods exist. That's it.
Even if atheism was a belief system (which it's not) I'd still lack belief in god. Nothing would change.
Quote:special pleading for my beliefs. What the heck. Did I miss something?
Your own words:
Quote:Unicorns are completely different as the nature of unicorns is fully understood and clearly not prevalent in nature. The nature of God is not fully understand, therefore is no way of recognizing the existence of his prevalence.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special_pleading
God is just another imaginary friend like all the rest. Why should we treat the god claim any differently? Without resulting to special pleading which is a fallacious argument.
Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence - Carl Sagan
Mankind's intelligence walks hand in hand with it's stupidity.
Being an atheist says nothing about your overall intelligence, it just means you don't believe in god. Atheists can be as bright as any scientist and as stupid as any creationist.
You never really know just how stupid someone is, until you've argued with them.
