Poll: Is 'Strong' Gnostic Atheism in fact weaker than De-Facto atheism which is entirely based on evidence?
This poll is closed.
Yes. Strong evidence is more unshakeable than an atheist who doesn't know as much of the evidence and believes he 'knows' there is no God

Is 'Strong' atheism weak?

RE: Is 'Strong' atheism weak?
I think I heard somewhere (It may of been Richard Dawkins) where being 99% sure is where you see gawd as extremely inprobable since you cannot dis-prove it, you cannot know there is no god and so being 100% atheist would be claiming that you know there is no god.

I was once 100% definite with no question or any kind of doubt. but when you look at it, You notice that you cannot dis-prove a negative and by being 100% means your claiming there is no god. I didn't like the idea of dropping one percent but I now know why.

I cannot dis-prove god but I can reject the claims of his existance. God has the same likely hood of existing just as santa claws. So that makes god extremely improbable.

The thing about the internet and some dictionarys is that they can contradict each other. I have a dictionary right here and it states that atheism is a religion. See?

I am 99.99999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999% sure that there is no such thing as a god. And I'm only leaving 00.00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000001 percent chance of their being a god. I'm happy with that Big Grin
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.
