Personally I view myself as an agnostic atheist as I don't think you can categorically disprove a transcendent being. I think trying to see the world from an evidence based perspective isn't compatible with being 100% certain that a God doesn't exist. I would class myself as 99.99% certain that there is no God. I see absolutely no evidence for a God or any reason to believe in one but I cannot know that new evidence won't come to light.

Any thoughts?

Then you are pretty sure the sun will come up tomorrow and your are pretty sure the eggs you have for breakfast tomorrow will taste like eggs. You are pretty sure that you know a lot of things, but in reality, 'know' nothing.

My self, I know the sun will rise tomorrow and my eggs will taste like eggs and there is no god. But, of course, I live in a world of my own creation.
You make people miserable and there's nothing they can do about it, just like god.

God has no place within these walls, just as facts have no place within organized religion.

Science is like a blabbermouth who ruins a movie by telling you how it ends. There are some things we don't want to know. Important things.
