:S....it could just as easily be me saying that (since I've already said it several times in the past, and think it quite often).
But the point is that I don't blame anyone else of course, it's just because I post so much lol. it's no fault of theirs. And I don't blame anyone anyway so *shrugs*.
So as I said to anon, there's no reason to apologize whatsoever for taking your time. It's good to take your time and it's good to be productive...the former I persoanlly find hard to do...I try to do both :S

I agree if they deny it absolutely, in the sense that they are gnostic about it. If they claim to absolutely know that God doesn't exist. That's certainly irrational and/because of the fact that it's logically fallacious. You can't prove a negative, it's a logical fallacy - so you can't prove that God absolutely does not exist.
If however you simply do not believe God does exist, there's nothing irrational about that since there's no evidence to believe that he does. That's a rational stance.
In summary: 1. Positively believing that God definitely doesn't exist is irrational and logically fallacious. 2. Simply believing that God doesn't exist on the other hand because of the lack of evidence that he does, is a sound and rational stance.
