Yes indeed,atheists and theists world wide argue about the existence of god(s).
This atheist does not argue with apologists,although he has been known to question,ridicule and abuse some on atheists forums. This is in the vindictive spirit of tit-for-tat,based on the way atheists are treated on Christian forums. (Muslim forums are just plain scary, those fuckers make real death threats)
My position:
"I don't believe due to lack of evidence. You believe and want me to believe? fine;show you evidence. You don't have any ? Stop wasting my time and go away"
"Your God is unprovable and unfalsifiable? Fine; there is no reason for me to believe apart from perhaps wishful thinking. Stop wasting my time and go away"
This is not a complex issue for me. I have no interest in the sophistry which claims disprove the existence of gods through logic,nor the sophistry of the theologian, which I consider even more intellectually arrogant,not to mention dishonest.
My response to the the theist who tries to challenge my position:I make no claims, the burden of proof is yours.
ut up or shut up. Since no one has managed to do so in recorded history,I'm not holding my breath.
