A question about atheistic “beliefs” (opinions, guesses, etc.)

[The Grand Nudger]

And the main thing you could have learned is that you were wrong, and that even when you find someone willing to stake that claim, you're ill equipped to respond.

But you didn't learn anything, did you.  To you, this is just another example, in your twenty years of examples, of why you got ostracized for some shit you didn't know.

Chefs kiss.

I am not wrong...and you know it.

What about you, Nudger? Do you believe there are no gods...or that it is more likely that there are no gods than that there is at least one?

C'mon. Be truthful. Do you?

If you use "atheist" as a descriptor (or part of a descriptor) it is almost certain that you do.

Personally, in my own life, I don't.  From long experience with the members of these boards, I recognize that I hold positions which are not consequences of atheism..and, when asked about religious shit, I tend to respond with a comment that assumes the ghost is true and explains why I don't give a shit if so.

So, here we are, yet again, with an oppurtinity to discuss the thing you thought atheism was...and I;m still wondering the same things I was when we began, many pages ago. Do you have anything to say about that? Can you specify exactly how I might be unreasonable for accepting a claim as knowledge which is equivalent to the claim on my own name? Stop imagining that I secretly know that you're right...that's childish. Accept that I genuinely think that you are wrong - because both of us have already agreed to the existence of facts, and that means that at least one of us is wrong, here.

From there....what....?

I think I've given you a pretty good example to discuss. Based on propositions which appear to be sound, arranged in a valid form of argumentation, I have concluded that gods do not exist. I take this to be a matter of fact. Go.
