Ex Theists

[Pippy]

Um, sorry to piss in your porridge Pip,but I think that is that is incorrect.

Oh, not at all. I hold your opinion in higher regard than some, and you are more than welcome to think what you will. I knew I shouldn't have had that porridge.

My disbelief is simply the absence of belief.

I know that is how you feel, I hear you. I can't rightly say I disagree with that. But my bone is that how can you be 100% sure that there is no god? That other than agnosticism, being removed from any thought or claim about either side of the argument, how can you claim to be 100% sure there is not god and I can claim to be 100% sure there is? Either one of us is 100% wrong (or is it 200%?), or it is not objective, and neither of us is wrong (or right). So since you can't prove without a doubt (as I can't) the non-existence (or existence) of god, there must be belief in there. To you personally, god is disproven, and to me personally she is very real... Where does that leave us?

I finally reached the point where belief was simply no longer present. It was not a decision on my part.

You prob hate it when I do this... but... It was not a decision on my part either, I just reached a point where doubt was simply no longer present.

Thanks Padraic, I enjoy your posts.
