Not strictly true, although technically a believer that thinks god(s) is(are) bad/evil would be a dystheist or possibly a misotheist

Quote:You can prove it to yourself you can't do it through science.
Then it isn't proof. Belief - yes. Acceptance - yes. Proof - no.

Quote:If you're an atheist and you don't believe in God, a purpose giver, higher power or creator then this is what you believe. If you eliminate everything else then what you're left with is what you're left with. The physical universe as it is and the mechanistic explanations as they are.

Absolute rubbish. Atheism is a rejection of the notion of deities. No more, no less. Larger font sizes won't change that

Quote:What created the laws of physics?
Why do they need to be created?


Quote:Without God all your purposes are purposeless.
Why?

Quote:With atheism you have to be defined by all the beliefs you reject. Ultimately you will have to reject anything you can't know or "prove" as you keep saying. This will ultimately end you up with materialism as you reject anything beyond the physical world that you can't know for a fact does exist.

Really? Are you gonna tell the buddhists or shall I? I reject the notion that atheism inevitably leads to materialism and/or empiricism. When I first rejected christianity it wasn't because I thought the evidence was lacking, but because the bible struck me as being incredibly daft.
