I'm a bit inebriated now so the finer points of denial elude me, I'm afraid, but that said, I agree all the same, at least to what I understand. Still, I outright state that there is no god. No god, no gods, nothing.
When told to provide proof that no god exists, I simply state "show me evidence of your god(s) and their godliness." When, as they always do, they fail to provide any, I tell them that that is my proof. And when they say that it's up to me to prove my own claim, I simply state that my claim is based on their own. If they can prove their own god's existence, then my argument has failed. My argument is easy to take apart and prove wrong; just demonstrate tangible evidence of their gods' existence.
If they fail, then I have my proof. If they succeed, then I must concede defeat.
You can probably guess how many times the latter has happened...
Long story short; if you claim to be an agnostic, just grow some fucking balls and admit you know damn well there are no such things as gods. Dithering about with the shit about how you "cannot know" is just a fucking tedious waste of time. You know damn well the truth of the matter. Watching an agnostic try to go on about their hesitations or the "unknown" or what-the-fuck-ever-else they use as their reason for half-assing their belief/non-belief is like watching a gay republican trying to talk about the important of heterosexual Christian family values; it's fucking obnoxious and I already know the truth of the fucking matter. Quit dicking around and just join the rest of us in stating what you already know, dammit.
