It's fine if you don't, of course; it's just weird that you parade it so proudly. (That is, "God does not exist. Unless there is evidence to prove otherwise.")
It's not that I claim there is no god, it's that I don't believe in such a thing due to lack of evidence. So I dismiss the claim.
If you want me to make it more clear then I will. In the eye's of science and observation, there is no such thing as a god. Now this actually applies to every fictional character. God is a fictional character like any other. The god claim will be dismissed if the claimer fails to provide evidence. Evidence that is measurable, study-able, empirical. If you cannot provide that kind of evidence then from that we conclude that god or gods do not exist until evidence is found to say otherwise. We are not saying god does not exist, fact. We are saying god does not exist based on lack of evidence to say it does. We have every reason to dismiss gods existence.
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.
