whateverist. I am sorry if you felt that my post somehow was rude. I guess whenever someone states their beliefs, or even speaks or says anything at all it might be seen as an attempt to "force" those statements on others. I don't have that perception though. If what I said was somehow offensive, know that was not my intention.
So many people on here trying to define atheism so it's a lack of belief, but not a belief itself. If I lack a belief in a flat earth, I necessarily believe that the earth is not flat. A lack of belief in "God" is a belief that "God" does not exist, in any form. I am not trying to "force" that belief on anyone, I am not trying to tell people what they believe. I am just stating what I perceive to be true. If that truth is somehow offensive to you, that is not really my problem, it's yours.
