that means you're an agnostic atheist rather than a gnostic atheist as you discribed yourself previously

Do you see the contradition, anyway welcome to reality
He seems to have made it very clear that he himself 'knows' there is no God.
I don't see how he can know this, I agree with the first quote more than the second....unless by being fully convinced as he says in the second quote - he just means as convinced as possible - as close to 100% as possible but not 100%.
But I have always had the idea since I first met chatpilot here - that he really does think there 100% is no God... for SURE.
I'd be interested to read your response chatpilot.
