[split]Atheism is based of ignorance.

[Esquilax]

If you don't believe in God, a higher power, anything transcendent, eternal immaterial whatever you want to call it that is relevant to us beyond and/or within the physical universe then you believe the opposite of the existence of this.

So, if you don't think something is hot, you have no choice but to think that it's cold? If you don't dislike something, you immediately have to like it?

Listen, because this is the last time I'm going to say this: you and the other theists are saying "there is a god." I, and many other atheists are responding, "I don't believe you, can you prove it?" That doesn't mean we're bound to think that there is no god, it means we don't know, and we're expectantly waiting for you to provide proof. Because you're unable to do so, instead of just admitting that you're arguing some other thing.

The moment you stop arguing against our position, you're just talking to yourself. And there's no possible manner to tell other people who you don't know what they believe than a hostile one; wouldn't you rather actually debate the issue, rather than do absolutely nothing productive?
