I think i have explained this to you before rondee. But surprise surprise you ignore it. However I repeat it again this time in the hope you will actual read and acknowledge what I have written:
Atheists do not make the claim: 'there is no god'. Theists claim there is a god, atheism is just a reaction to this claim. Our reaction is: 'we don't believe you'
Do you not see the difference? The difference between: 'We don't believe a god exists' and 'There is no god'. Can you not understand the difference?

Aint it "dumb" to argue about something that doesn't exist?
Why do you need to come here and state the obvious? Why waste a minute of your valuable, short time on earth with me and the others disproving ghosts?
Don't you have better things to do?
You know, i think I have covered this with you as well:
Indeed, it seems stupid to argue over something that doesn't exist. But the problem with God is that whether he exists or not, his religion (Christianity or whatever) influences the world around us. A lot of the time it makes things worse e.g. Crusades, suicide bombers, Christian science.
The reason we don't argue over and try to disprove the existence of ghosts is because they do not affect the world around us. Sure they scare a few people and a few terrible TV shows like 'Ghost hunters' exist, but that the extent of it.
Religion, especially christianity, tries to legislate laws based on their beliefs. Its the main reason why homosexuals are not allowed to get married in certain places in the world. It preaches ignorance and false hope. Just look at some stories in the news: You hear a child dies because their parents were christian scientists and believed that prayer would heal their child instead of taking them to the hospital.
Its for all these reasons above (and probably many more that i have missed out) that we debate over the existence of gods.
If you used the same reasoning you use about religion on any other subject in the world, you would be laughed at and never taken seriously.
