Just to keep things fresh don't use the classic 'there is no evidence hence such and such does not exist'. Perhaps a little unfair, but if you don't like it, don't post. Anyway, I figure that one of you must have another good argument hidden under your hat.
It's down to you if you believe in the god clam or you do not. I can only speak of why I don't believe it. Just because you don't think atheism is able to stand on it's own arguments doesn't mean your right or that god actually exists. Can you prove to me there is no santa claws? Of course not! You like I cannot disprove anything based on superstition and nor can we prove it.
Atheism is lack of belief. As in I as an atheist reject the god claim. I reject it because not only is there no evidence but also there is nothing to say that I shouldn't worship say allah or thor or even the easter bunny. Why should I believe in a god and which god? Why should I believe in "any" god?
The question isn't "is it the right path" the question is "Why should I believe?"

Mankind's intelligence walks hand in hand with it's stupidity.
Being an atheist says nothing about your overall intelligence, it just means you don't believe in god. Atheists can be as bright as any scientist and as stupid as any creationist.
You never really know just how stupid someone is, until you've argued with them.
