A problem with the word "atheist"

RE: A problem with the word "atheist"

How can NOT being convinced that a god or gods exist be a dogma?

I guess you never thought about that Gaw, did you?  Smile

How long have you been here? How can you still not understand basic logic, and where the burden of proof lies?

First of all, your post is a straw man. Not all atheists (the majority) make the claim, with absolute certainty, that gods do not exist. We are simply unconvinced by theist's arguments, that they do exist.

Second of all, this type of negative, is impossible to prove.

Third, we do not need evidence that gods do not exist. Theists are the ones making the claim that a god does exist, theists have the burden of proof. Until your claim meets its burden of proof, I am entirely warranted to disbelieve it.

No dogma needed for my position.

Will any of this sink in? I have very little hope it will.

You'd believe if you just opened your heart" is a terrible argument for religion. It's basically saying, "If you bias yourself enough, you can convince yourself that this is true." If religion were true, people wouldn't need faith to believe it -- it would be supported by good evidence.
