Quote:I understand that's what you claim, I've just outlined why I don't believe it to be the case.It's the definition of atheism. It stems from Greek - Theos = Belief in god. Atheos = Without belief in god.
θεϊστής (theist)
αθεϊστής(atheist)
Quote:Tell me why your belief is not absolute. Because if god shows himself to you, you will believe?Well my 'lack of belief' does not involve any absolutes. It's simply a stance regarding the claim that a god exists.
I acknowledge that I do not/cannot know whether a god exists or not, however I have rejected the claim. No claim has been made. I'm responding to a claim, not creating one.
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.
