Just a little definition before I continue. I am a strong atheist:
Quote:Strong atheism, also sometimes referred to as explicit atheism, goes one step further and involves denying the existence of at least one god, usually multiple gods, and sometimes the possible existence of any gods at all.
Therefore, unlike the weak atheist, don't confuse all of us because not everyone on this forum is a strong atheist like myself, I have no qualms in making the positive claim that god, the supernatural, does not exist.
Absence of evidence is a valid, logical argument; as I have already mentioned previously, I do not see you scrambling to profess your belief in everything for which there is no evidence to support its existence: i.e., the monster under the bed. The fact that you willingly believe in god, the supernatural, in the absence of any hard evidence, is your mental hang-up, not mine.
