What I have said...MANY TIMES...is that all indications are that damn near EVERY person who uses the word "atheist" as a descriptor or part of a descriptor (as you do) either "believes" there are no gods or "believes" it is more likely that there are no gods than that there is at least one.
How about you?
Is your blind guess that it is more likely that there are no gods than that there is at least one?
Okay, if it is your blind guess.
Someone took a similar position over at the amazon religion/atheists boards as well, and it was frustrating. We were all told that not believing was the same as believing in the opposite, so the only rational position was being agnostic.
There is NO FUCKING WAY I have ever said that "not believing" is the same as "believing in the opposite direction." And if I had encountered the asshole proposing that...I would have taken him/her apart.
It is idiotic.
For you to suggest that is similar to my position is just absurd. Wake the hell up.
