Wrong yet again. I'm not saying X isn't true, I'm saying I don't believe in X. I haven't claimed anything. YOU have! The burden is on you, not me.
No belief, no faith. I've rejected theist claims due to lack of evidence.
Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence - Carl Sagan

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.
