No problems with atheism then...

[Godnose]

...Do you not see that having a lack in belief in God does not lead you directly to the statement that God does not exist?

Sure. I can see perfectly well that being an agnostic does not necessarily lead to atheism.

However I am not an agnostic, I am an atheist, and I do believe that God is an entirely imaginary construction. I believe therefore that God does not exist (except in the imagination of people of course).

Edit: Why do I keep writing "God"? I mean "god" of course. Or "gods" even.


Look I'm sorry to do this editing thing (I've been told off for it in the past) however I gotta say this:

You might just as well say "There is almost certainly no Harry Potter", "There are almost certainly no hobbits", "There is almost certainly not a large pair of unwashed underpants been orbiting around Alpha Centauri for the last eight hundred and seventy-three billion years" ... the list is endless. All equally bolix.

And I don't see it as a "lack" of anything. My belief there is no god is a long long way from any lacking, including a lack of certainly. I am in fact as certain as it is possible to be certain of anything that there is no such thing as god (or Hogworts)

Actually, there might be such a thing as hogwarts, if it comes to that. If JK Rowling was to say "Oh no, this is a species of splatterjack I found out about in South America" I'd be more inclined to believe her than anybody who told me god exists. Even if I saw god in my living room I'd be inclined to dismiss it as an hallucination (of which I had quite a few in my yooft, btw - although not of god specifically).
