Min can state he is certain there are no gods. So what? People say lots of thing.
He is wrong because technically you cannot falsify the unfalsifiable.
Theists make the positive claim, not us. They "know" god exists. This is infinitely more fallacious.
They cannot know, now can they? Unless of course they listen to the voices in their head!
If you're going to do that, then hell, knowledge means nothing. Back to solipsism we go.
If theists "know" then what is 'faith' for?

Your second statement is false just about everyone here is a negative atheist and the rest is nonsense.

Quote:I hate a fictional depiction in a story book in fact several story books .Has nothing to do with the existence of god only that bible and most religious texts have yet to demonstrate themselves and thus are indistinguishable from works of fiction . This is not a positive statement that god doesn't exist .
Quote:. Just the way I hate jar jar binks and he also likely doesn't existThis clearly continues from the above the god of varied religions remains undemonstrated and thus remains no less demonstrated then Jar Jar . This is not a positive statement that no gods exists .
Quote:You can in fact hate something that doesn't exist we do it all the time.Again clearly stating you can hate something that does not exist and says nothing about it's existence
So this attempt fails
Quote:I also like the fact that you guys claim you don't belong to a collective yet you are somehow are comfortable in speaking for just about every atheist on these forms.We aren't a collective but I am confident speaking for other atheists those two things don't follow . We can not be a collective and I can be confident in the position of other people .
Seek strength, not to be greater than my brother, but to fight my greatest enemy -- myself.
