A case for positive atheism

[Oldandeasilyconfused]

Semantics yet again.


I assert only "I do not believe in gods due to lack of evidence. I call myself 'an agnostic atheist'. I really don't care if others disapprove of my position, or if they choose a different label..

I reject the notion that the existence of god can be proved or falsified by reason and logic alone. I demand evidence. To accept or reject a position without evidence is called 'faith'

To the theist who asserts 'I believe there Is a God", my response is " you have made a positive claim.That attracts the burden of proof. Show me your evidence for the existence of God or stop wasting my time and bugger off"

To the hard atheist who asserts " There is no god/I believe there is no god" My response is "You have made a positive claim;that attracts the burden of proof. Show me your evidence which falsifies the existence of god or stop wasting my time and bugger off" (no offence)

Back to semantics; although I assert only I do not believe, I live as if there is no god.
