Are you just terminally dense?

I know for a fact that many atheists here, including me, have corrected you on this many times.

The vast majority of atheists do NOT claim to know, with absolute certainty, that a god does not exist. The fundamental atheist position (not a presupposition) is that the case for the existence of a god has not met its burden of proof. 

Atheism is almost always a provisional position, not a dogmatic, "there is no god" position.

Randy doesn't give a shit about facts. He clings to his straw man of atheist presuppositional dogma the way a very young child will cling to a security blanket or a favorite stuffed animal. For some reason he seems to thing that straw man and the "you guys have never examined my favorite myth" straw man prove something fundamental about atheism. The truth is that it says far more about him than it does any of us.
