Which is a pretty big problem when there is no evidence that none of you are right about anything.

So, you've invented your own arbitrary sorting hat. The Bible doesn't insist upon accepting the Apostle's Creed, which doesn't even appear within its pages.
Quote:So you think most of the people who have ever lived are jokes, and you accuse me of having a small umbrella. That's some interesting logic.
1. Well, perhaps. It's not so big a joke when you don't know any better, but people who are religious in the 21st century have no excuse.
2. It's not about how big the umbrella is, but whether or not the size changes depending on the situation. I don't talk about 'true' atheists. Outside of not having a belief in gods, there are no traits any other atheist must share with me in order to be every bit as 'true' an atheist as I am. Atheism makes no behavioral or moral demands. There are no rituals. Every single person who lacks belief in gods is an atheist, even if they are terrible people whose morals are in total contradiction to mine.
