(April 29, 2012 at 3:21 pm)Paul the Human Wrote: The "atheist position" is simply "I do not believe that claims of the existence of god(s) are true". There is no right or wrong about such a position. It is simply a declaration of the lack of belief, not a claim that no god(s) exist.
Personally, I have never encountered a reason to reconsider that stance, as no one making the claim that a god exists has successfully presented one. Not one.
Paul, while that may be technically true, it is not how many atheists present their arguments. They not only say they don't believe in god(s), they positively state that none exist. Isn't that why there's an atheist scale? As an afterthought, does anyone know if there is a word, other than atheist, which describes someone who argues that god positively does not exist, rather than just believing that god does not exist?
