Bullshit. I lack belief! I'm not claiming anything. I lacked belief since birth. You can't stand that because it means the burden of proof is not on me, it's on you.
I'm not claiming that a god or god's don't exist, I don't know if they do or not. I just don't believe that any god exists. Lack of belief. An atheist is one who does not believe in god. Get used to it.
Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence - Carl Sagan
Mankind's intelligence walks hand in hand with it's stupidity.
Being an atheist says nothing about your overall intelligence, it just means you don't believe in god. Atheists can be as bright as any scientist and as stupid as any creationist.
You never really know just how stupid someone is, until you've argued with them.
