I am an atheist that despises atheists

[Mystical]

The universe works the way it works, not how some atheists want it to work.

For me, I see anti-religious types starting a line of logic with "anti-religion'.  That starting points warps world views as much as "the universe must love me.".  Theist don't own the rights to stupid.

Fundamentalist anti-unicornists tend to start their logic with "anti-unicorn". That's quite foolish of them.

What?! Where??? Tell me where you've seen them, I'm a cut them!

Comet, if I gave you a box, what is the default assumption you have about the box until evidence shows otherwise? You assume it's empty. Till I hand u the box and the box is heavier than it should be if it were just a box. Till you shake the box, and feel whatever is in the box, bounce around inside the box.

For that matter, why would I assume to take into account something with zero proof of its existence? Why would I assume there was anything in the box without proof that there was? You could tell me there is, and I'd have to trust you that you're telling me the truth. Which doesn't seem like a solid way to know, anything. What if you're lying or mistaken?

Then the only way to know is to confirm between you and i that there is something in the box. But when you open the box and its empty, and proceed go tell me theres something you or I can't see or quantify whatsoever in the box and I need faith to assume something is in the box.. then we are beyond confirming reality.

Personally, I'm going to assume that there's nothing until proven otherwise.
