New Atheist!!...
#8
RE: New Atheist!!...
Welcome from a recovering Catholic of over 40 years.(Yeah, I'm rooly old).


Here you will tend to run into people who say things like"I don't believe in gods,the soul,the supernatural,the paranormal, or fairies at the bottom of my garden, due to lack of evidence"

Very few will say "there is no god etc,or "I know there is no god etc" because we don't know,we merely disbelieve. This position is called skepticism. There are many former believers here. Most of us try to avoid dogmatic and absolute claims lest we replace one closed minded and dogmatic world view with another.
